Brighton coach Liam Rosenior has rejected an approach from Middlesbrough.

The Argus says Rosenior is understood to have been in contention for a coaching role at the Riverside following the departure of Tony Pulis.

The 34-year-old is highly regarded at the Amex.

He became Simon Rusk's under-23s assistant following the completion of the UEFA pro coaching licence, a role he combines with widely acclaimed punditry for Sky Sports.
