Chelsea and England star, Millie Bright has put pen to paper in a contract extension which will keep her at the club until the summer of 2026, with the option of an extra year.
Mille Bright’s deal with reigning Women’s Super League champions was set to expire this summer having arrived at the club in the summer of 2014.
The 31-year old defender is Chelsea’s longest serving women’s player, recently surpassing a decade spent at the club. Bright has lifted every honour the Blues have won, including seven Women’s Super League titles, five FA Cups, two League Cups and the Community Shield.
With England, the 31-year old skipper has racked up a total of 86 caps, playing in all six games of the Lionesses’ famous Euro 2022 success.
Millie upon signing a new deal with Chelsea said, “Representing this club and continuing our journey together was never a question to me. This club is my home. Chelsea runs through me. The legacy continues.”
Head of women’s football Paul Green added: “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.”
