Craig Noone: 'Brighton and Hove Albion can push for promotion'

Winger Craig Noone has insisted that he believes Brighton & Hove Albion are ready to push for promotion to the Premier League.

Brighton finished in 10th position in the Championship last season, but Noone believes that the club are ready to mount a bid to win promotion.

Noone told BBC Sussex: "It's a solid team. The squad looks a lot stronger than it did last year.

"The players and the club are ready to push for the playoffs and promotion."

The 24-year-old scored twice in 33 league appearances for the club last season.
