Bright won eight Women’s Super League titles at Chelsea
Defender retired from England duty in 2025 with 88 caps
Millie Bright has announced her immediate retirement, ending a trophy-laden career during which she won eight Women’s Super League titles and six Women’s FA Cups with Chelsea.
The defender, who retired from international football in 2025, also helped England win the 2022 European Championship on home soil, and in 2023 – in the absence of the injured captain Leah Williamson – led the side to the World Cup final. She won 88 caps.
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. She helped Chelsea win every major women’s trophy in the club’s history. They lifted their first major silverware in 2015, sparking a decade of domestic dominance.
