Bright becomes second player to make 200 WSL appearances

Chelsea captain Millie Bright has become the second player to make 200 appearances in the Women’s Super League.

The 31-year-old defender reached the milestone during Chelsea’s WSL home game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Nobbs, who has played in every edition of the WSL, is the current record holder with 207 appearances.

England international Bright made her first appearance in the WSL for Doncaster Belles in 2011 and went on to feature 32 times over three seasons in the top flight with the Yorkshire club.

Following a season in the second tier, she moved to Chelsea before the 2015 campaign and has since amassed a further 168 appearances in 11 seasons – a record for the Blues.
