  "summary": "Watford defender Grace Garrad has joined FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division club Real Bedford on loan. The 23-year-old will be with the Pirates for a short stint as she seeks to secure regular playing time following an injury setback. Garrad, who joined Watford last summer from Ipswich Town, where she helped secure the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division title, made only eight appearances before suffering an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. Now fit, Garrad is eager to return to regular play and believes her experience from her title-winning campaign can bolster Real Bedford's efforts to climb the table. Real Bedford will face Lewes in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division on Sunday.",
