Ghanaian forward Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has bid an emotional farewell to London City Lionesses after her two-year stint with the club came to an end.
A key member of Ghana’s Black Queens squad that clinched bronze at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), Boye-Hlorkah departs following the expiration of her contract. She has signed a two-year deal with Women’s Super League 2 newcomers Nottingham Forest, aiming to help them secure top-flight promotion — just as she did with her former club.
In a heartfelt Instagram message, the 29-year-old expressed deep gratitude to the Lionesses for reigniting her football career.
“London City Lionesses… I DID MY JOB. Making history with this club and helping secure promotion to the WSL — I’m forever grateful,” she wrote.
She went on to thank her manager for the trust and belief, her teammates and staff for their acceptance and support, and the club’s growing fanbase for their love and respect.
“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, and 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.”
As she embarks on her new chapter with Nottingham Forest, Boye-Hlorkah’s focus will be on replicating her promotion-winning success in the Women’s Super League 2.
