Millie Bright opens up on the reasons behind her retirement, both physically and mentally 🗣 The defender announced her immediate retirement from football this week.

Respect to Millie Bright for speaking openly about her decision. Prioritising both physical and mental wellbeing takes real strength. She leaves the game with a legacy of leadership, resilience and inspiration.

Retirement is never easy, especially when both body and mind are involved. Respect to Millie Bright for making the decision that’s right for her.

Christ they only play about 30 games a season.

No one cares

Nobody cares

Anyone taking the piss out of our superstar just bloody leave it out! Millie has given so much to the game. And tbh I think she could play in most premier league table teams! It’s her game too! So much talent #hergametoo

She has played so well and has had a long career so is valid she starts to feel tired

This interview is giving " my mum got over involved in an internet war about me so I retired"

That’s a difficult moment for Chelsea Football Club and for Millie Bright, but her openness about the physical and mental side of retirement is really important. Stepping away from the game is never easy, and it shows real honesty to talk about what goes into that decision

Ah she got the tattoos and the Rolex she’ll be fine

😹🤡😹

Too much abuse cos we call her shit 😭😭😭 not sure how she would have coped as a black footballer, but doubt that's something she's ever considered before

What a player she is unreal definitely the difference between winning and losing hope she enjoys her retirement so proud of her what a leader she was

Does anyone really care? @bbcsport you killed Football focus with this stuff.

مبروك على القرار، نتمنى لها حظاً موفقاً في رحلتها الجديدة

Is it wrong that I’ve never heard of her?

I love you so much Millie bright🤩🤩🤩💕😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

@milliebright

as a member of chelsea. I can say that I've never heard of this bloke so he can't have been much good. a career in 'pretending I know about mens football' awaits.... can't fuckin wait.

Good on her for being so upfront, tough call but mental and physical health always come first. Absolutely loved watching her over the years. Did you catch the full interview?

We’re never gonna win the champions league 😭

Merci football

Wow, that's incredibly sad to hear. Wonder what the real pressure points were.
