When Kim Fuller first crossed paths with Moneyfields FC, she was playing for Eastleigh and found herself facing a side that left a lasting impression. “They were a force to be reckoned with,” she recalls. That encounter planted the seed.
It was a conversation with manager Karl Watson that truly sold the vision. “Karl’s passion for the club was undeniable. His knowledge of the game and his belief in what Moneyfields could become made it clear that the club was on the rise,” Kim explains. “I believed in my ability and felt like I could add value to the team.”
Since that decision to join, Kim has become an integral part of the club’s journey. She’s seen the transformation from the inside and experienced firsthand how far things have come. “The club’s DNA—built on hard work, honesty, and professionalism—hasn’t changed a bit. But what’s around us certainly has,” she says.
The opening of the John Jenkins Stadium has taken things to a new level. “It’s given us a home to be proud of and completely transformed our matchday experience.”
A prolific winger with a knack for scoring, Kim admits she can’t quite remember her first goal for the club. “I have no idea when or where it came or who it was against,” she laughs. “I’m blessed that there have been quite a few over the years.” And that’s an understatement. With 71 goals in 128 appearances, she holds the record for both most appearances and top scorer in the club’s history.
But Kim is quick to shift the focus from personal accolades to the team. “Team success always comes first,” she says. “It’s nice to know I’ve made a difference going forward, but our defence deserves just as much recognition. They provide the stable base that allows the forwards to do what we do best.”
One of her proudest memories in a Moneyfields shirt came during the club’s dream run to the fourth round of the Women’s FA Cup. “We came up against some hardworking sides, particularly Haringey Borough. They pushed us and showed a lot of potential—if they stay on that path, they’ve got every chance of joining us in the fourth tier,” Kim reflects.
That run ultimately saw Moneyfields face off against London City Lionesses, a professional outfit operating at a higher level. “We were well-prepared and gave a great account of ourselves,” Kim says. “We dominated long spells of the match and were really unlucky not to come away with more. But they were clinical during a twenty-minute period in the second half and punished us. Still, we were immensely proud of each other.”
As for her records? Kim’s proud of them—but knows they won’t last forever. “The way Shannon’s scoring, she’ll be pushing to overtake me soon,” she smiles.
But for Kim, legacy isn’t just about numbers—it’s about culture, impact, and being part of something bigger. And as Moneyfields continues its rise, her name is already firmly etched in club history.
