However, after the 'Well team folded, she was soon on the move again, signing for the female side of Wishaw Juniors F.C., where she was handed the captain's armband. It would prove a successful season, with the team winning the League, League Cup and Scottish Cup in a memorable campaign.

She won the SWFL Player of the Month award for May/June, after netting an incredible 71 goals in the first 18 matches of Motherwell's 2015 season.
