Freya Godfrey has signed on the dotted line, committing herself to London City Lionesses for another three seasons. The 21-year-old England international was the standout star in her debut season with the club, helping them win promotion to the Women's Super League and earning a spot in the senior squad with her impressive performances.
It's been a whirlwind few years for Godfrey, who joined London City on loan from Arsenal in January 2025. That stint became permanent last summer, and it's safe to say she's made an instant impact – scoring six goals and providing four assists as the Lionesses secured sixth place in their inaugural WSL campaign. Her contributions were so impressive that she was voted Players' Player of the Season, a testament to her growth and adaptability at the highest level.
Godfrey's new contract is a major boost for London City, who are looking to build on their promising start to life in the top flight. And the England international is clearly excited about what's to come: "I'm made up to sign a new contract at London City. I've loved my time here so far," she said, praising her teammates' quality and experience – players like those who have won World Cups and Champions League titles.
The extension of Godfrey's deal is a statement of intent from London City, who are determined to establish themselves as a force in the WSL. With key talent like hers on board, they're well-placed to challenge the league's established teams – and make some noise in English women's football for years to come.
