Ghana international Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has penned an emotional farewell to London City Lionesses following her departure from the club.
Chantelle, who was part of the Black Queens bronze medal-winning squad at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), leaves the club following the expiration of her contract after two years.
She joins Women’s Super League 2 newcomers Nottingham Forest on a two-year deal after guiding her former side to top-flight promotion.
In a departing message to the London City Lionesses, Chantelle thanked the club for giving her the opportunity to live her football dreams again.
“London City Lionesses…I DID MY JOB,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
“Making history with this club and helping secure promotion to the WSL. I’m forever grateful.
“To my manager, the continued love, support, trust & belief you gave me to express myself. To my teammates & staff who accepted and supported me for who I am. To the growing fanbase — thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your love, respect, and continued support. I’m sorry I couldn’t continue making memories with you. It was out of my hands, what I did will never be taken away, my gratitude will last forever.
“Everything happens for a reason. I gave my heart to this badge & we won.
“I wish London City Lionesses nothing but the best in the future.”
Chantelle will now turn her attention to helping Nottingham also secure promotion to the Women’s Super League.
