"Representing Chelsea over the last 12 years has been everything to me but I'm now ready to say goodbye to playing football. I've given all I can and I never wanted to fight for any other badge."
"Chelsea described Bright as a club legend and said they would honour her career before their final WSL game, against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on 16 May."
"Bright has been Chelsea's club captain since the start of the 2023-24 season and a core part of their team since joining in 2014, helping Chelsea win every major women's trophy in the club's history."
Millie Bright has announced her retirement from football, concluding a successful career with Chelsea where she won eight Women's Super League titles and six Women's FA Cups. She played a pivotal role in England's success, including winning the 2022 European Championship and leading the team to the World Cup final in 2023. Bright, who has been Chelsea's club captain since 2023, played 314 matches and helped secure 20 trophies. Despite her retirement, she will remain with Chelsea in off-pitch roles as a trustee and ambassador.
