Brighton defender Imari Samuels has signed for League OneFleetwood Town on loan for the rest of the season.

The Under-21s star is one who Brighton believe can go all the way with the first team in the future.

However, they believe that he needs senior game time in order to develop his skills.

Under-21s head coach Shannon Ruth said in a club statement: “This is a great first senior loan for Imari.

“He has produced some excellent performances for the under-21s this season and gained valuable experience training with the first-team squad as well.

“We're looking forward to seeing how he progresses in a senior environment at Fleetwood and we wish him all the best for the remainder of the season."
