Millie Bright has signed a contract extension that will keep her at Chelsea until at least the summer of 2026, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The 31-year-old’s new deal includes an option to extend her stay in London for an extra year, giving the defender plenty of time to add to her impressive 280 appearances for the Blues.
Bright, who has spent more than a decade at the club since signing from Doncaster Belles, has enjoyed a trophy-laden spell in the English capital – and with Sonia Bompastor’s side eight points clear at the top of the Barclays Women’s Super League table, there looks to be at least one more prize on the horizon.
After putting pen to paper on her new deal, 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. The legacy continues.”
The club’s 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.”
