Ben Godfrey joins Rangers on loan | OneFootball

Rangers have added to their defensive ranks with the loan signing of Ben Godfrey from Atalanta, with the deal running for the 2026/27 season and including an option to make the move permanent next summer.

The 28-year-old becomes the latest arrival at Ibrox as part of the club’s summer rebuild, joining Lawrence Shankland and Ross McCrorie in reinforcing the squad ahead of the new campaign.

Godfrey began his career at York City before rising through the ranks at Norwich City, where he became a key figure in their promotion to the Premier League. His performances earned a move to Everton, where he made a strong impression over several seasons before switching to Atalanta in 2024.

Since arriving in Italy, the defender has spent time out on loan, including spells with Ipswich Town, Sheffield United and most recently Danish side Brøndby, where he gained regular minutes in the second half of last season.

Godfrey said he was “delighted” to join Rangers and is determined to help the club achieve success, as he looks to re-establish himself with consistent first-team football in Scotland.
