DONE DEAL: Brighton land former Hull defender Rosenior

Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion have signed Liam Rosenior on a free transfer.


The 30-year old defender has penned a three-year deal with the Seagulls after leaving relegated Hull City recently.

Rosenior spent five seasons with the Tigers, helping the Humberside club gain promotion to the Premier League in 2013, as well as featuring in the FA Cup final against Arsenal in 2014.

Formerly of Bristol City, Fulham and Reading, former England U21 international Rosenior has also enjoyed loan spells with Torquay United and Ipswich Town.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have brought Liam in as our first summer signing.

"He's a terrific professional, has a wealth of experience - which is something that is important for us - and during our negotiations showed a great desire to join us and be part of this club, despite some attractive options elsewhere.

"He's played at lot of games in the Premier League, is an extremely versatile defender, and can play at left or right full-back."
