Brighton and Hove Albion have agreed a new contract with long-serving goalkeeper Jason Steele.
The club said: “We’re pleased to confirm that goalkeeper Jason Steele has signed a new contract with the club until June 2027.
“Jason joined Albion in 2018 and has gone on to make 60 appearances in all competitions, having played for Middlesbrough, Northampton Town, Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland earlier in his career.”
Albion head coach Fabian Hürzeler said: “I’m delighted Jason is going to be with us for the next few years.
“He is a big influence in the dressing room and he maintains high standards on and off the pitch every day. I am pleased he will be on the journey with us in the coming seasons.”
Steele said: “The progress the club has made since I came to Brighton is incredible and, hopefully, I can complete 10 years with the club which would be a fantastic achievement personally.
“We’ve got a great group of coaches and keepers at the club and we keep each other on our toes which drives standards on a day-to-day basis.
“Everyone wants to give the best version of themselves every day.
“I’m looking forward to playing my part in Brighton’s future. Our ambition this season is to qualify for Europe again.
“Playing in Europe two years ago was such a brilliant experience and if we can find that consistency then there’s no reason why we can’t do it again.
“It’s a young squad sprinkled with experience which you need but the quality in the group is definitely good enough.”
