Following the summer of a lifetime bringing home the European Championship trophy for England, the Blues vice-captain has penned a new contract to extend her stay at the club for a further three years and continue her reign as Chelsea Women’s longest serving player.

Our No.4 signed in 2014 from Doncaster Rovers Belles and has enjoyed an illustrious career so far with the Blues, helping to win all 13 of our major trophies. Impressively, Bright has become a champion of England six times, an FA Cup winner four times and also has two Continental Cup and one Community Shield under her belt. 

The Blues defender has also been named twice in both the PFA Team of the Year and the FIFPro Women’s World 11.

An experienced international with 58 senior England caps to her name, the 28-year-old also delivered a defensive masterclass at the Euro 2022 tournament this summer.

Starting in all six games, Bright quickly became a household name across the nation with the Lionesses and most notably was awarded Player of the Match in the quarter-final against Spain.

The 28-year-old was excited to share the news with Blues fans commenting: ‘Chelsea, the fans, the club, the people. Thank you for all your support so far.

‘You're my home and I can't wait to continue fighting for more trophies. Cheers to the future!’

Commenting on Bright’s extension with the club, general manager Paul Green said: ‘We are absolutely delighted that Millie has signed a new contract.

‘Millie remains our longest serving player and her time with us has been key to our success. The way that she leads on and off the pitch is second to none and we are proud of how far she has come and all her achievements, including her most recent win at the Euro’s which was a very proud moment for the club.’

Bright is currently enjoying a well-earned break after the summer tournament and will join up with her Chelsea team-mates to head to Portland for the US tour.
