Chelsea captain Millie Bright has signed a contract extension to keep her at the Women’s Super League champions until the summer of 2026.
England defender Bright, 31, in her 11th season at Chelsea and the club’s longest-serving women’s player, has the option of an extra year.
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.”
Bright has made 280 appearances for Chelsea after joining from Doncaster Belles in 2014 and has won seven WSL titles, five FA Cups and two League Cups.
The future is Bright. 🤩

She has made 86 appearances for England since her senior debut in 2016, was a member of the Lionesses’ European Championship triumph in 2022 and captained them to the World Cup final a year later.
Chelsea’s head of women’s football Paul Green added: “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.”
