Arsenal’s Freya Godfrey has joined Championship title contenders London City Lionesses on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Godfrey joins the London City Lionesses in her second Championship loan spell, after spending last season at Charlton Athletic. She made 20 appearances for the Addicks, as they finished in second place, narrowly missing out on the title to Crystal Palace.

Godfrey joined Arsenal’s academy in 2018 and signed her first professional contract with the club in June 2023. She has made three senior appearances for the Gunners, including a Champions League debut against Vålerenga. Godfrey also featured heavily for Arsenal in pre-season, alongside her fellow academy graduates.

Following her move to the Pride, Freya said: “I’m really excited to sign for the club and I can’t wait to get started at Hayes Lane.”

Godfrey will join up with fellow Arsenal academy graduate Teyah Goldie, who is also currently on loan at the Championship side.

The Arsenal academy graduate has captained the England U19s at international level. She has scored 12 goals in 23 appearances for the U19s, demonstrating her proficiency in front of goal.
