Millie Bright has been named as Chelsea’s new captain ahead of the new Women’s Super League season.
Bright has made 245 appearances for Chelsea, winning 15 trophies including six WSL titles, and takes on the role after the departure of former skipper Magdalena Eriksson.
“It’s a massive honour to have the title of club captain,” she said. “Chelsea is my home. It always has been and always will be, so I’m delighted to have that title, but nothing changes. I’m in a really privileged position.
“I’m excited and delighted Emma [Hayes] has given me the trust and put me in this position. It’s an absolute honour to be captain of Chelsea, and I’m really looking forward to the season ahead.”
