"Everything has an end and this is my end here at Chelsea. I still remember Emma [Hayes] called me six-and-a-half years ago, convinced me to join the club and I was terrified. Scared that I wasn't good enough, scared to move away from my family. Little did I know I was going to get a new family here because it has been all about the people and the ones that have been with me on this journey."
"The winger, who joined the Blues in 2019 from LSK Kvinner in her native Norway, won the Women's Super League title in each of her six seasons at the club. Reiten also won four FA Cups and three League Cups as well as scoring 59 goals in 207 appearances."
"Although a mainstay in Hayes' winning sides, Reiten's game time has been limited under Sonia Bompastor, who took charge in May 2024, and she has started just three WSL matches this term."
Guro Reiten concluded her six-year tenure at Chelsea, during which she won 13 trophies including six consecutive Women's Super League titles, four FA Cups, and three League Cups while scoring 59 goals in 207 appearances. The 31-year-old Norwegian winger joined Gotham FC after experiencing reduced playing time under new manager Sonia Bompastor, starting only three WSL matches this season. Reiten expressed emotional gratitude for her time at Chelsea, crediting manager Emma Hayes for recruiting her and highlighting the club's supportive environment. She joins Gotham on loan until July 2024, when her Chelsea contract expires, followed by a permanent deal with the NWSL side through 2029.
