Early on in her career, Lucy played for Sheffield United from 2020–2022, having played for Doncaster Rovers Belles prior to this. There she made her senior debut at the age of 16.[4] In the 2021–22 Championship season, she scored eight goals in 22 appearances.[5]

Following an impressive season, she signed her first contract for Women's Super League club Chelsea, for the 2022–23 season.[6][7] From there she was loaned out to Charlton Athletic in August, for the remainder of the season, but the season was cut short due to an ACL injury.[8][9]

In the 2023–24 season, Watson joined Crystal Palace, helping them to win the Championship, and gain a promotion to the Women's Super League.[10][11]

For the 2024–25 season, Watson joined Southampton.[12][13]

Watson started her international career in 2022, playing for the England under-17s. Later that year, she was called up to play for the under-19s.[14]

During a match against Czech Republic, Watson helped England to a 4–1 win with a goal, with the help of an assist from Grace Clinton.[15]
