"I'm now ready to say goodbye to playing football."
 
Chelsea captain Millie Bright has retired from football immediately.
 
She played 88 times for England, starting all six games as they won Euro 2022 and also captained the Lionesses to the World Cup Final in 2023.
 
The 32-year-old won 18 trophies at Chelsea, featuring 294 times for the club, but has not played since February because of an ankle injury.
