Brighton boss Chris Hughton is happy with Solly March's new deal.

Sussex-born March snubbed interest from Everton, Fulham and Burnley to commit to the Seagulls until the summer of 2022.

Hughton said: “I am delighted for Solly, as he's worked extremely hard to get to this level and thoroughly deserves his new deal.

“He's proved an important member of the squad in recent seasons, and despite being relatively young, Solly has collected a good amount of experience this early in his career.

“With our second Premier League season just around the corner, it's great for Solly to commit his future to the club and now he can fully focus on the campaign ahead."
