England star Millie Bright has committed her future to Chelsea after putting pen to paper on a new three-year deal.
The 28-year-old, who first joined the Stamford Bridge club in 2014, enjoyed the summer of a lifetime after winning the European championship with the Lionesses.
Bright was at the forefront of England's success, having put on a defensive masterclass throughout this summer's tournament.
The defender started in all six games and was most notably awarded the Player of the Match prize for her quarter-final performance against Spain.
Should the Blues vice-captain remain at Stamford Bridge for the duration of her deal, it will take her time at the club to over a decade. Bright is already the longest serving player for Chelsea Women.
The player arrived in London from Doncaster Rovers Belles and has since won 13 major trophies.
Bright is a six-time champion of England, a four-time FA Cup winner, two-time Continental Cup winner and also has one Community Shield under her name.
What's more, the player was named twice in both PFA Team of the Year and the FIFPro Women's World XI.
The future is 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. 😉
