James Milner
39-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
Signs new contract
Milner has signed a new contract with Brighton until the end of the 2025/26 season.
ANALYSIS
The 39-year-old veteran was limited to just four appearances in 2024/25 due a long-term knee injury. He should provide depth in a number of roles if he stays healthy in 2025/26, but he's not likely to play a prominent role as a starter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could extend Brighton tenure
Milner could sign a new contract with Brighton in the summer, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are in talks with the 39-year-old veteran English midfielder over a new deal with the club. Even though Milner is way past his prime years, Brighton rate him highly due to his positional versatility but also due to what he brings off the pitch. It wouldn't be surprising if Milner returns to Brighton for one more year before calling it a career.
