We are delighted to announce the signing of Hannah Godfrey, subject to international clearance.
The 22-year-old returns to England having spent the last four years in the United States representing the University of South Alabama and Pensacola FC, where she was part of the squad that won the 2019 Women’s Premier Soccer League title.
Hannah becomes our eighth new signing of the summer as we continue to strengthen our squad ahead of our debut season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.
Prior to moving to the States, the centre-back began her career with Blackburn Rovers before joining Manchester City’s Development Squad at the age of 17 during the 2014/15 season.
Hannah said: “It will be an honour to wear the shirt and be in an environment where everyone is excited for a huge season ahead. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I can’t wait to contribute to the success of the Club.
“The team is on a journey, creating history and I really want to be part of that.
“I want to win and have a successful season back in England in order to help this team to reach the goals we set out to achieve.
“I have definitely grown as a player and as a person from my time in America. The football over there is very different to here. They emphasise the physical aspect, whereas in England it’s much more technical so I’m returning from the USA in much better shape and I’m more physically fit, while still being confident with my technical ability.”
