Newcastle United secure loan keeper Anna Pedersen from Charlton

Newcastle United have completed the short‑term signing of goalkeeper Anna Pedersen on an emergency loan from Barclays Women’s Super League side Charlton Athletic.

The Magpies confirmed the move in an official press release this afternoon.

The 24‑year‑old former England youth international will spend the next seven days on Tyneside.

She will provide goalkeeping cover during her short stay in the North East.

Pedersen’s recent club history

Pedersen has spent the last 15 months with Charlton Athletic after joining the South East London club from FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division side Rugby Borough in summer 2025.

She was a play‑off winner with Charlton last season and remains with the club for their debut Barclays Women’s Super League campaign this term.

The keeper spent her early years in the academy system at Leeds United before moving to Everton.

A subsequent spell at London City Lionesses was hampered by a long‑term injury.

Pedersen later returned to fitness while playing for Rugby Borough.

Pedersen went straight into Newcastle United’s squad for this afternoon’s Barclays WSL2 match against Burnley at St James’ Park.

She was listed among the substitutes for that game.
