PARTICK THISTLE - Key Persons
Amy Bulloch joined Thistle in late 2020 and immediately made an impact by scoring the SWF Goal of the Year for her debut strike against Stirling University. Having spent time with Hamilton and Motherwell, Bulloch made the move from Lanarkshire and has been a staple of Brian Graham's midfield.
Ava Eadson joined Partick Thistle Women's FC, initially on a 6 month loan from Glasgow City ahead of the 23/24 season having impressed manager Brian Graham throughout a number of pre-season training sessions.
Cara Henderson joined PTW ahead of the 22/23 season in what was hailed as a massive coup for Brian Graham's side. Following her time with Glasgow Women, in which she helped them gain promotion to the SWPL1 winning their coaches' and players' player of the season awards,
Henderson made Petershill Park her home. Henderson was immediately adored by Thistle fans, who created an iconic chant to the tune of Magic by Pilot to honour the young forward, as she contributed massively to our historic top 6 finish last season, scoring the goal which secured our spot in a 1-0 win away to Dundee United.
She would later go on to become the club's top scorer for the 22/23 campaign and picked up our signing of the season award as well as Young Player of the Year
Becoming the first player to sign on for the 23/24 season, Henderson gained the iconic number 9 jersey and, like our gaffer for the men's team, has been in red hot form as she currently sits as our top scorer.
Carla Boyce joined PTW from divisional rivals Motherwell in January 2024. Following news of her potential availability, Brian Graham was quick to snap up the forward with the announcement coming just one day after Thistle's 4-2 victory over her former club in the Women's Scottish Cup.
A nomadic striker with a keen eye for goal, Boyce brings a great deal of experience to the Jags having scored 7 times for the Lanarkshire outfit already this season, including one against Thistle.
Clare Docherty joined the club from Kilmarnock Women in 2019 alongside club legends Kim Murphy and Collete Flemming.
Making an immediate impact, Docherty became an immediate fan favourite playing an instrumental part as the club won promotion from SWPL2 in 2021.
A player whose versatility knows no bounds, Docherty's first few season were spent at the top end of the field before she truly cemented herself as Brian Graham's go to right back in the 2022/23 season as the club secured a historic top 6 place.
Continuing to grow from strength to strength, Docherty's leadership and presence is second to none. Someone who truly plays for the badge, she has once again made the left back position herself and has formed one of the best full back partnerships in the league with Emma Lawton.
Daniel O'Reilly signed as a Jag on 9th January 2024, penning an 18-month contract at the Wyre Stadium at Firhill.
