James Milner Extends Stay at Brighton

Football News

Experienced Premier League midfielder James Milner has agreed to a one-year contract extension with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Milner, who holds the record for the second-most appearances in Premier League history with 638 matches since his 2001 debut, originally joined the Seagulls in 2023 following successful spells at clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool.

A highly decorated professional, his extensive list of honours includes multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Since arriving at Brighton, Milner has been a valuable member of the squad, although his playing time in the current 2024/25 Premier League season has been significantly limited to just four league appearances due to a long-term injury sustained in August.
