Milner has played for six Premier League clubs – Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Leeds United, and current side Brighton and Hove Albion.

It was at boyhood club Leeds where Milner made his name, becoming the second-youngest player to feature in the Premier League when he made his debut against West Ham aged 16 years and 309 days.

He also spent time at third-tier Swindon Town on loan – scoring two goals in a short six-game spell.

After Leeds were relegated, Milner made the switch to Newcastle, before later moving to Villa Park in a £12m deal.

His form at Aston Villa attracted the attention of England and Milner was called up for the first time by Fabio Capello for a friendly against Netherlands.

Gaining a reputation as a versatile midfield option, Manchester City brought Milner to the club – winning the FA Cup in his first season and the Premier League a year later.

The bulk of his appearances then came at Liverpool – where he moved on a free transfer in 2015 – making 230 appearances under Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp.

Milner’s greatest triumph came when Liverpool won the Champions League in 2019 and a year later played a key role in helping the club win the Premier League – the Reds’ first league title in 30 years.
