Newcastle United have snapped up Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Anna Pedersen on an emergency seven-day loan, giving themselves some much-needed cover between the sticks.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper is already in the squad for today's Barclays WSL2 clash against Burnley at St James' Park, where she's named among the substitutes.
Pedersen joined Charlton 15 months ago after signing from Rugby Borough in the summer of 2025. She played her part in last season's play-off triumph and has since been featuring in the Barclays Women's Super League - not a bad trajectory for someone who had to battle back from a long-term injury.
Her career path has taken a few interesting detours. She came through the Leeds United academy before heading to Everton, then spent time with London City Lionesses. That injury setback sent her to Rugby Borough, where she rebuilt her career before Charlton came calling, WSL Full-Time reports.
It's a quick fix rather than a long-term plan - Pedersen will only be on Tyneside for a week. But having a keeper with top-flight experience on the bench is hardly the worst insurance policy going.
