I’ve been promoted to different leagues three or four times in my senior career. “I feel like I’m a bit of a promotion master. The defender has been a key part of several promotion winning teams and hopes of brings the experience and know-how of getting the team over the line when pushing for the league title. It means the world to get the badge back on my chest.” Even when I went away and was at other clubs I kept an eye on them and wished them well.

Hector started her career playing for the Golden Girls and made 40 appearances for the first team before her move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2016. “I played here for 10 years so it just feels like I went on a bit of a vacation for few years and now I’ve come back home. “It’s a really good feeling to sign for Watford,” said Hector. The defender brings a wealth of experience to the Golden Girls as they continue their pursuit of playing FA Women’s Championship football next season. She joins the Hornets having previously played for the club and was part of the team that achieved promotion in 2014. Watford FC are delighted to announce the signing of former Tottenham and Charlton defender Renée Hector.
