- Reflecting on her career, Bright told The Rest is Football podcast, `No-one can make the decision for you, and it sounds cliche but it really is a feeling`, and she said `I want my legacy to be about being a winner- a difference maker.`
- The FA confirmed plans to honour Bright’s contribution at a future home Lionesses international, while Sarina Wiegman called her an `England legend` and a `true leader`.
- Bright has returned to club action with Chelsea and started all seven Chelsea games this season as captain, saying she must prioritise club duties over splitting 50 per cent between England and Chelsea.
