Solly March signs new deal with Brighton that could keep the in-form winger at the club until 2027 to the delight of manager Roberto De Zerbi... eleven years after the one-club man joined from non-league Lewes FC

Ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final this weekend, Brighton and Hove Albion have received a boost with their in-form winger Solly March signing a brand new contract on Friday.

The deal will keep the English player in Brighton until 2026, with an optional one-year extension that the club can choose to exercise.

The 28-year-old has been in blistering form for his club, who are flying under manager Roberto De Zerbi, who joined the club in the wake of Graham Potter's exit for Chelsea in September of last year.

March scored the winner in Brighton's last match against Crystal Palace, and was heavily involved in Jack Harrison's own goal that put Brighton ahead in their eventual 2-2 draw with Leeds the weekend before that.
