Fresh off claiming an NRLW premiership with the Sydney Roosters, the State Of Origin and Australian representative has been named at lock for the Knights in the NSW Women's Premiership.
She has not been listed in the previous two rounds but is now preparing to line-up for Newcastle against the Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval on Saturday.
The Knights haven't featured in the NSW Women's Premiership prior to this season and joined the NRLW ranks for the first time earlier this year.
Southwell shapes as an obvious NRLW recruitment target for the Knights with another campaign set for later in 2022.
Hunter players Yasmin Meakes, Olivia Higgins, Tayla Predebon and Brydie Parker also enjoyed NRLW success with the Roosters last month.
