Always look on the Bright side of life - Chelsea skipper signs new deal
By Paul Lagan
Chelsea captain Millie Bright has signed a contract extension at the club until the summer of 2026, with the option of an extra year.
The 31-year-old has made 280 appearances and surpassed a decade spent at the club, further establishing her as its longest-serving women’s player.
Bright said: "Representing this club and continuing our journey together was never a question to me. This club is my home. Chelsea runs through me."
England international Bright has lifted every honour the Blues have won, including seven Women’s Super League titles, five FA Cups, two League Cups, the WSL Spring Series, and the Community Shield.
Head of women’s football Paul Green said: "Millie is the leader of the team and our longest serving player. This extension will take her into her 12th season at the club, which is a big achievement.
"Millie leads by example on and off the pitch and has been a key player in our success over the last decade. She recently became the player with the most WSL wins, a milestone reflecting the quality she continues to display."
