Rangers complete Ben Godfrey loan deal
Last updated 29th Jun 2026
Rangers have signed Atalanta defender Ben Godfrey on a season-long loan deal.
The central defender becomes their third addition of the window with the Ibrox side holding an option to make the move permanent next summer.
Godfrey started his career at York City before switching to Norwich City in 2016.
An impressive season in the English Premier League led Everton to pay £20million for his services four years later.
The 28-year old was also capped twice by England in 2021.
After almost 100 appearances at the Goodison Park side he made the move to Atalanta in Italy but struggled to make an impact.
That has led to loan spells at Ipswich Town, Sheffield United and, most recently, Brondby in Denmark.
Manager Derek McInnes told the club's official website: “Ben is a player who has competed at a very high level throughout his career. He’s played in the Premier League, been involved with England, and brings a lot of experience with him.
“He’s a strong, athletic defender with good qualities both on and off the ball, and we believe he can add a lot to the squad. We’re pleased to get him in, and I’m looking forward to working with him in the season ahead.”
