Milner Extends Brighton Contract with Premier League Appearances Record in Sight
- At 39 years old, James Milner has agreed to remain with Brighton & Hove Albion for an additional season, securing his stay with the south-coast team.
- Milner joined Brighton in summer 2023 after his Liverpool contract expired and played only four league games last season due to an injury sustained in August.
- Brighton finished eighth last season but missed European qualification, with manager Fabian Hurzeler praising Milner's invaluable experience, especially for younger players.
- Milner has made 638 Premier League appearances since debuting for Leeds United in 2002 at age 16 and eyes breaking Gareth Barry's record of 653 top-flight games.
- Milner's extension means he could play past his 40th birthday on January 4, 2026, potentially becoming one of the oldest Premier League outfield players and setting new appearance records.
