Brighton signing Tim Krul insists he holds no grudge against parent club Newcastle.

The Dutch goalkeeper has joined the Seagulls on a season-long loan.

He said: “It's a massive part of my life. My wife and little girl were born there, so I always have that connection there, but sometimes you have managers that like to go in a different direction.

“They decided they wanted to go in a different direction, which was a shame, but I always have a positive view of Newcastle because they brought me everything I could wish for.

“I don't have any regrets and had 11 beautiful years there, but Brighton is another family club and have got a great set-up."
