England defender Millie Bright has announced her retirement from international football.

The 32-year-old won 88 caps during her England career and won the European Championship on home soil in 2022 before captaining the side to the World Cup final the following year.

Bright announced her retirement on her podcast “Daly Brightness”, which she co-hosts with former England team-mate Rachel Daly.

She said: “The reality of the last decade wearing the Three Lions has surpassed even my wildest dreams.

“It’s been beyond special for me and I wish it could last forever. However, in football all good things must come to an end and with that I have decided to retire from international football.”
