Guro Reiten has today completed a move to NWSL side Gotham FC.

The 31-year-old first joined the Blues in the summer of 2019 from LSK Kvinner in her native Norway and has since firmly established herself as a true Chelsea legend.

Guro has been a Blue for six and a half hugely successful seasons, winning the Women's Super League title every year she has been with us.

Reiten hit the ground running in her first campaign, appearing in 23 of our 25 matches and scoring seven goals, earning a nomination for the WSL Player of the Year in her maiden campaign outside of Norway.

Already a favourite amongst our supporters, Reiten then played her part in our Treble-winning campaign during 2020/21, notably scoring in a thrilling 4-2 extra-time win over Manchester City in the Women's League Cup quarter-finals before finding the back of the net in our 6-0 victory over Bristol City in the final of the competition.

In 2021/22, former Blues boss Emma Hayes deployed Reiten in an attacking left wing-back position, and the Norway international set about learning her new position with typical enthusiasm.

From there, she scored an impressive 11 goals, including a strike in the second half against Manchester United on the final day that clinched the WSL title, and a beautiful finish from 25 yards in our Women's FA Cup semi-final win over Arsenal. Those performances earned her a place in the PFA WSL Team of the Year in her third campaign with Chelsea.

Reiten would go on to make 39 appearances in 2022/23, more than any other player in the side, scoring important goals against Lyon and Barcelona as we reached the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League. Her 13 goals in that campaign were influential as we secured another league and FA Cup double that year.

Hayes' final season in charge saw us pull off two miraculous results to win the WSL, and Reiten netted four of our eight goals against Bristol City in our final home game of the campaign, before assisting twice in the 6-0 victory away at Manchester United that saw us seal the title on goal difference.

The fan favourite surpassed the 50-goal marker early in Sonia Bompastor's domestic Treble-winning campaign 2024/25, and continued to find the back of the net as she ended the trophy-laden season with 12 strikes.

There have been a further 17 appearances and one goal this season, meaning Reiten departs Chelsea having made 207 appearances and scoring 59 goals.

Everyone at Chelsea would like to sincerely thank Guro for her huge contribution to our success over the last six-and-a-half years, and we wish her well during the next chapter of her career in the United States.
