Brighton youngster Jayson Molumby is headed on loan to Millwall for the upcoming season.

The Republic of Ireland U21 star will be playing in the Championship next term as he seeks regular game time.

Molumby has also put pen to paper on a two year contract with Brighton, as he hopes to be a part of their first team plans in the 2020/2021 season.

Brighton under-23 coach Simon Rusk said of the new contract and loan move: "This move comes at the right time for Jayson and his new deal is well deserved after plenty of hard work over the past few years.

"Jayson has always had the desire to take his game to the next leve and the opportunity to play senior football in the second tier will certainly give him the chance to do that.

"The Championship is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, and we hope Jayson makes the very most of his time at Millwall during the upcoming season."
