Brighton veteran James Milner has spoken about the ‘tough’ decision he faces over his playing career at the end of the season.
The 40-year-old recently broke the record for the highest number of Premier League appearances, and he has since asserted himself as a key player for the Seagulls over the past few weeks.
Brighton have seen a major upturn in form since the ex-Manchester City star has been named in their starting XI. Milner has added experience and composure to the heart of the Seagulls’ midfield, leading to the club picking up four wins in their last five Premier League fixtures.
Nevertheless, the Englishman is heading into the final few months of his contract at the Amex Stadium, and the prospect of retiring at the end of the campaign remains a real possibility.
