Playing career

Club

In December 2014, Bright signed with Chelsea L.F.C. ahead of the 2015 season. Chelsea assistant manager Paul Green said of the signing, "Millie is a great character and a young player who is hungry to develop and improve her game. She has a lot of experience for a 21-year-old and has already played a lot of games in the FA WSL and knows what the league is all about. She will add strength and physicality to the squad and I’m sure that she will prove to be a good addition to this talented group of players as we look to build on last season’s achievements." Chelsea finished in first place during the regular season with a 10–2–2 record and qualified for the 2016-17 UEFA Women's Champions League for the second time in the team's history. Bright made fourteen appearances for Chelsea during the 2015 season tallying a total of 906 minutes.

International

Bright has represented England on numerous youth national teams, including the under-23 squad. In June 2016, she scored a penalty kick goal against the United States during the final game of the Nordic Cup. National coach Mark Sampson gave her a first cap for the senior England national team in September 2016, as a last-minute substitute in a 2–0 win over Belgium.
