Brighton are weighing up a move for Hamilton defender Jamie Hamilton.

The young defender has gone on trial with the Premier League club.

Hamilton announced: "The club can confirm Jamie Hamilton has travelled to English Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, where he will spend three days at their training centre.

"This isn't something the club would normally agree to. However, given our close connection with previous manager Billy Reid, we're happy for Brighton to see Jamie in their own environment.

"Jamie will return to Hamilton on Thursday in preparation for our visit to Ibrox on Wednesday, March 4."
