Midfielder Solly March has agreed to pen a new long-term contract with Brighton & Hove Albion.
March has progressed through the youth system at the Seagulls to make a total of 125 appearances for the south coast club in all competitions.
The 24-year-old failed to feature in just two of Brighton's matches in the Premier League last season, but the player has admitted that he was delighted to have penned a fresh four-year deal.
March told the club's official website: "I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present. It's nice to know that I've got another four years at the club, and now I can knuckle down and get going again.
"I know that I've got four more years at the club, so I don't need to worry about anything and I can just focus on playing football.
"It's nice to play for my local club - I was born and raised in Sussex, so it makes it that extra bit special. Our aim is to stay in the Premier League again, and I'm really looking forward to the season ahead."
Brighton begin the new top-flight season with a fixture away at Watford on August 11.
