Leon Balogun says he is relishing his spell at the heart of Brighton and Hove Albion defence.
The 30-year-old made his second consecutive Premier League start in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
And the Nigeria international has expressed his delight for the game time afforded him by Chris Hughton.
“I’m really enjoying my spell in the side, I had two games with Shane [Duffy] before when Lewis [Dunk] was injured, and it’s always great fun,” Balogun told club website.
“That goes for being part of this group as a whole, it’s a fantastic squad and dressing room that plays very passionately for one another.
