Brighton winger Billy Arce has returned from his loan at Segunda Division club Extremadura UD.

The 20-year-old signed for the Seagulls in August 2018 from Ecuadorian side CSD Independiente Del Valle, and moved straight to Spain on a loan deal.

Arce made three substitute appearances in the Segunda Division, but played 90 minutes in the Copa Del Rey, as Extremadura were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Alcorcon.

Meanwhile, Brighton under-23 defender Josh Kerr has joined Derry City on a six-month loan deal.

The 20-year-old has linked up with the SSE Airtricity League side for the remainder of the season.

Under-23 coach Simon Rusk said, “This is a good loan move for Josh, and one that will allow him to play first-team football on a regular basis.

“We will keep a close eye on his progress, and wish him well for the rest of the season."
