West Ham Ladies captain, Dagny Brynjarsdottir, has confirmed she is pregnant with her 2nd child.

Dagny announced the news on Wednesday 9th August on her instagram and in a heartwarming video on West Ham’s social media.

The Iceland international told her story of how she grew up as a West Ham fan alongside her best friend and his dad, in an interview with whufc.com.

The midfielder gave birth to her first son, Brynjar, in June 2018. Since arriving at West Ham, Brynjar has become a big part of our Hammers family and he even attends training sessions and matches as she explains he is her “biggest fan”.

Dagny is excited to not only be adding to her family, but also the West Ham family when they welcome their second child next year.

“From growing up supporting West Ham, to becoming the Club Captain and then bringing my son, Brynjar, into the West Ham family… I’m delighted to announce that there will be a new addition to the West Ham family next year!”

“I think it’s amazing how much the club supports me with my son. Not every club would let their kid come to the training ground and onto the pitch. I’m very grateful that he gets to have all of these experiences with me and because of that, he is a big West Ham fan today and will be the rest of his life.

“When Brynjar comes to the training ground it just feels like extended family. Everyone is so nice and calm and it’s just one big family – and I’m excited to be adding to that family!”

The 31-year-old will not feature in the 2023/24 season while she prepares to welcome her child.

Everyone at The West Ham Way congratulates Dagny and her partner Ómar on the exciting news !
