Ben Godfrey

Ben Godfrey of Rangers was born in York , England on 15 January 1998 (age 28).

Ben Godfrey, born on 15 January 1998 (age 28), is an English central defender now with Rangers, where he wears the number 4 shirt. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His early senior grounding came through loan football, the sort of spell that tends to matter more to a defender than it looks on a CV. By 2018-19 at Norwich City, he had turned that development into regular league football, making 31 appearances and scoring four goals in what remains his most productive league season.

Godfrey’s later career has taken him to Rangers, where he is being used primarily at centre-back. In 2026-27, he has made six league appearances and two more in the League Cup, giving him eight Rangers appearances across all competitions.

His career to this point has been built on steady senior exposure rather than noise: loan football, a strong Norwich season, and now a place in the Rangers squad.
