Katie Zelem joins West Ham United on loan

Katie Zelem has joined West Ham United on a loan deal until the end of the 2025/26 season.

The midfielder makes the move to East London in search of regular first-team football, having primarily featured as a substitute across league and cup competitions for London City this season.

Former Manchester United captain Zelem joined London City in August 2025 from NWSL outfit Angel City.

The 30-year-old won the Women’s Super League twice with Liverpool, captained Manchester United to FA Cup glory and finished runner-up for England during the 2023 World Cup.

Everyone at London City Lionesses wishes Zel the very best during her time at West Ham United and we look forward to seeing her progress in the second half of the season.
