Millie Bright has been named Chelsea’s new captain ahead of the new Women’s Super League season.
Bright made 245 appearances for Chelsea, winning 15 trophies, including six WSL titles, and takes on the role following the departure of former skipper Magdalena Eriksson.
“It is a huge honor to hold the title of club captain,” she said. “Chelsea is my home. It always has been and it always will be, so I’m very happy with that title, but nothing changes. I’m in a really privileged position.”
“I am excited and delighted that Emma (Hayes) has given me the confidence and put me in this position. It is an absolute honor to captain Chelsea and I am very much looking forward to the season ahead.”
