James Milner to play into his 40s! Former Liverpool and Man City star signs new one-year Brighton deal as he eyes Premier League record

<p>Brighton have <a href="https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/pages/en/media-article/milner-signs-new-contract" target="_blank">confirmed</a> that Milner has signed a new deal that will run for another year, and will see him play for the Seagulls at the age of 40. The 39-year-old has made 638 Premier League appearances and is 16 games away from breaking the record set by Gareth Barry for the most outings in the English top-flight. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Milner played in the first three Premier League games of the 2024/25 season for Brighton before a thigh injury saw him sidelined until the final game of the season, where he came off the bench for the final minute of their clash with Tottenham. Now, he will aim to break back into Fabian Hurzeler's starting XI. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Hurzeler told <a href="https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/pages/en/media-article/milner-signs-new-contract" target="_blank">Brighton's website</a>: “I’m really pleased we will have James with us again this season. Last season he wasn’t able to help the team on the pitch as much as he would have liked, but around the squad his experience is invaluable, especially for the younger players.</p><p>"He’s a great guy to have in our environment, who is always there for me and the team. I’m looking forward to working with him again.”</p>

WHAT FABIAN HURZELER SAID

<p>Brighton kick off their pre-season preparations against Southampton on August 2nd. It is unclear if Milner will be fit to play. </p>
