Steele Extends Brighton Stay Until 2027

Goalkeeper, Jason Steele has signed a new two-year contract at Brighton until June 2027.

Steele first joined Brighton in June 2018 and has gone on to make 60 appearances across all competitions, whilst primarily serving as the second-choice goalkeeper.

The 35-year-old now will extend his stay until June 2027 with a two-year contract extension, as he reflected on the club’s progress since his arrival.

“The progress the club has made since I came to Brighton is incredible and hopefully I can complete ten 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.

Steele also reflected on the Seagulls’ Europa League campaign in 2023-24 season as he spoke of his eagerness to again play in Europe with the club.

“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.”

Head Coach, Fabian Hurzeler added: “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.”
