Milner Close to Historical Record
James Milner has renewed his contract with Brighton & Hove Albion, ensuring his presence in the Premier League for another season, despite turning 39. With just 15 games left to surpass Gareth Barry’s record of 653 top-flight appearances, Milner’s new deal positions him to potentially etch his name in the history books.
### An Illustrious Career
From his early days at Leeds United in 2002, Milner’s career trajectory has taken him through some of the Premier League’s most prestigious clubs, including Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Liverpool. Alongside his vast experience, Milner boasts an impressive array of silverware, including three league titles—two with Manchester City and one with Liverpool—and a coveted Champions League title with Liverpool.
### Ready to Rebound
Enduring a challenging last season characterized by injury woes that confined him to four appearances, Milner is optimistic about his return on the field. The extension offers him a chance to correct course and leave an indelible mark by potentially breaching Gareth Barry’s untouched appearances record.
