"With eight WSL winners' medals, six FA Cups and three League Cup winners' medals, Chelsea skipper Millie Bright has done it all domestically. A domestic treble last season - her second with the club - was her latest achievement, while on the international front she was part of the 2022 European Championship winning side and would then captain the Lionesses to the World Cup final 12 months later."
"As long as you learn from things, they're a blessing, rather than a hindrance. I got sent off in the World Cup semi-final, but you gain a thick skin and have to deal with a lot. We shouldn't have to put up with hatred or trolling, but it made me stronger. In sport you have to be thick-skinned there are opinions and we have to deal with them."
Millie Bright has won eight WSL titles, six FA Cups and three League Cups with Chelsea, including a recent domestic treble. She was part of England's Euro 2022-winning squad and captained England to the World Cup final the following year. Bright withdrew from selection ahead of Euro 2025 and missed England's title defence. Earlier setbacks include an own goal at Euro 2017 and a sending-off in the 2019 World Cup semi-final. She treats mistakes as learning experiences that built resilience against criticism and online abuse, and ranks the Wembley Euro 2022 final as her career highlight.
