Guro Reiten has completed a move to NWSL side Gotham FC after spending six and a half hugely successful seasons with Chelsea Women.

The 31-year-old first joined the Blues in the summer of 2019 from LSK Kvinner, earning a nomination for the WSL Player of the Year in her maiden campaign outside of Norway.

Reiten then played her part in the treble-winning campaign during 2020/21, before being switched to an attacking left wing-back position, from where she scored an impressive 11 goals, and earned her a place in the PFA WSL Team of the Year.

She made 39 appearances in 2022/23, more than any other player in the side, while her 13 goals helped secure another league and FA Cup double.

Reiten netted four of the eight goals against Bristol City in the final home game of the 2023/24 campaign, before assisting twice in the 6-0 victory away at Manchester United that sealed the title on goal difference.

Surpassing the 50-goal marker early in Sonia Bompastor’s domestic treble-winning campaign 2024/25, Reiten 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.
