From Killamarsh to European champion? The career of England star Millie Bright

England defender Millie Bright has been one of the stars of Euro 2022 so far and on Sunday she will grace the Wembley turf once again as her side takes on Germany in the final.

The Derbyshire-born 28-year-old has come a long way since being brought up in Killamarsh, playing for Killamarsh Dynamos as a child and then progressing to Sheffield United, Doncaster Belles and eventually Chelsea where she’s become a star in the Women’s Super League, as well as for her country for whom she has won 54 caps so far.

Here, we take a look back at Bright’s early days in football right through to her most recent triumph in Tuesday night’s semi-final win over Sweden.

Is there another chapter to be written on Sunday?
