Ben Godfrey, born on 15 January 1998 (age 28), is an English central defender now with Brondby, where he wears the number 14 shirt. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Godfrey’s early development was helped by loan football, giving him senior matches before he became established at Norwich City. That mattered. Young centre-backs tend to learn less from tidy under-23 games than from being asked to defend properly against grown professionals.
His most productive league season came at Norwich in 2018–19, when he scored four goals in 31 appearances. That was the period in which he moved beyond being a prospect with useful physical tools and became a regular first-team defender.
At Brondby in 2025–26, he has made 12 appearances in all competitions, including 11 in the Superliga, with one goal. His career has taken him from early loan grounding to a prominent spell at Norwich and on to Denmark, where he remains an established professional rather than a finished story.
