Rangers Secure Ben Godfrey on Loan From Atalanta
The 28-year-old centre-half arrives on loan with an option to buy after making just five substitute appearances for Atalanta.
- Rangers completed the loan signing of 28-year-old Atalanta defender Ben Godfrey, securing an option to buy the player for the 2026/27 campaign.
- Godfrey moved to Atalanta from Everton for a reported £11 million in 2024 but made only five substitute appearances for the Serie A club before loan spells at Sheffield United and Brondby.
- Rangers manager Derek McInnes welcomed the signing, stating, "Ben is a player who has competed at a very high level," and highlighting the defender's English Premier League experience.
- This acquisition marks Rangers' third signing of the summer, following striker Lawrence Shankland from Hearts and defender Ross McCrorie from Bristol City.
- Although the club aimed to reduce loan dependency this window, recruitment chiefs pursued the deal given Godfrey's pedigree as the defender joins teammates for pre-season training.
