Brighton have announced the signing of Liverpool veteran James Milner.

The 37 year-old will join on a one-year deal after his Reds contract expires at the end of the month.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said, “I'm very glad to welcome James to Brighton. He's an excellent addition for us and I'm sure he will help to bring us to an even higher level."

Technical director David Weir added, “We are delighted that James has agreed to join us after a hugely successful period at Liverpool. His experience speaks for itself with the amount of games he has played and the trophies he has won throughout a decorated career.

“These games include European competition, which will be of huge value to us as we embark on our first season in Europe.

“We're looking forward to working with James when the players return for pre-season."
