Chelsea captain and seven-time WSL winner Millie Bright extends contract with champions until 2026

Chelsea have confirmed that Bright has signed a new contract at the club, putting pen to paper on an extension that runs until 2026. The Blues also have the option to extend that deal by a further year should they wish to.

Bright has spent 11 years at Chelsea and has become a legend in her time at Stamford Bridge. She has been involved in every single trophy win that the Blues have enjoyed, winning seven Women's Super League titles, five FA Cups, and two League Cups. She is also the club's longest-serving player.

Bright told Chelsea's website: "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…"

Paul Green, the head of women's football at the club, added: "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."

Bright could next be in action when Chelsea play Crystal Palace in the quarter-final of the FA Women's Cup this weekend.
