Brighton Sign James Milner From Liverpool
Brighton have announced the signing of midfielder, James Milner from Liverpool on a free transfer.
The 37-year-old left Liverpool at the end of the 2022/23 season after eight campaigns with Jurgen Klopp’s squad and has signed a one-year deal on the south coast, with the option of an additional year.
During his time at Anfield, Milner made 332 appearances in all competitions and won seven major trophies – including the Premier League in 2020 and the Champions League in 2019.
With 619 top-flight appearances to his name since his debut in November 2002, he sits third on the all-time list of appearances, 13 behind Ryan Giggs and 33 behind current leader Gareth Barry.
Milner’s vast experience in European competition will be welcomed by Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, as he leads the Seagulls into the Europa League for the first time in club history.
After Brighton announced Milner’s arrival, De Zerbi said, “I’m very glad to welcome James to Brighton. He’s an excellent addition for us and I’m sure he will help to bring us to an even higher level.”
