Dan Ashworth has resigned as FA technical director.

Ashworth has resigned to join Brighton. He will join the Seagulls in the Spring.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Football Association and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the chairman Greg Clarke, CEO Martin Glenn, England managers Gareth Southgate and Phil Neville, as well the coaches and staff at all levels who have supported me so well," said Ashworth.

“The success we have had with our national teams is down to careful planning and high performance from the players, but also the hard work and professionalism of a lot of people over a sustained period of time, and of course the relationship we have had with the clubs, the leagues and the National Game. It's been an honour and great pleasure to serve my country in the past half-decade."
