Millie Bright was Chelsea captain from 2023 until her retirement

When Millie Bright announced her retirement on Wednesday, her mum gave her a letter.

But as Bright continues to wrestle with the emotions of her big announcement, she says she has been unable to read it all.

The 32-year-old retired from England duty last year and has now left Chelsea after 294 appearances, eight Women's Super League titles, six FA Cups and four League Cups.

A Euros winner in 2022, she has returned home to her family's farm in Sheffield and is celebrating her dad's 60th birthday - the sort of event she would have previously missed while juggling playing and training.
