Milner Extends Brighton Contract with Premier League Appearances Record in Sight
- On Friday, 14 June 2025, 39-year-old midfielder James Milner agreed to remain with Brighton & Hove Albion for an additional year.
- Milner joined Brighton in summer 2023 after his Liverpool contract expired and has limited appearances due to an injury-ravaged 2024-25 season.
- Brighton finished eighth last season, missing European qualification, while head coach Fabian Hurzeler praised Milner's experience and presence within the squad.
- Milner has made 638 Premier League appearances since his 2002 debut for Leeds United and aims to surpass Gareth Barry's record of 653 games.
- The contract extension keeps Milner at the club past his 40th birthday, potentially making him the fifth outfield player to appear in the Premier League in their 40s.
