Ghana international Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has completed a move to Nottingham Forest Women, signing a two-year contract ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Fresh from helping the Black Queens secure bronze at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the 29-year-old forward joins Forest from newly crowned WSL2 champions London City Lionesses, where she played a decisive role in their promotion — netting six goals, including a vital header in the final day title decider against Birmingham City.

Boye-Hlorkah’s football journey began at Everton’s Centre of Excellence, making her Women’s Super League debut for the Toffees in 2013 and scoring her first goal later that same season. After eight years at Everton, she moved to Aston Villa in 2021 before signing for London City Lionesses in 2023, making 37 appearances over two seasons.

Internationally, she represented England at U19 and U23 level before committing to Ghana in 2023, where she has since become an influential figure for the Black Queens.

Speaking on her move, Boye-Hlorkah expressed her excitement: “The team had an incredible season last year – history is being created here, and I’m grateful to be part of building something special at the club.”

Forest head coach Carly Davies, who has worked with her before, praised the signing: “Chaney is a proven talent at the highest level, with experience at Everton, Aston Villa, and London City Lionesses. Her attacking threat, versatility, and ability to impact games will be a huge asset as we push for more success.”
