Brighton midfielder Taylor Richards has signed a new contract with the club.

The 20-year-old joined the Albion from Manchester City in July 2019.

Richards was a regular for the club's Under-23 side in the 2019/2020 campaign, playing 19 games and scoring six goals.

He first rose up to the first team in September 2019 in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa.

Head coach Graham Potter said after the renewal: "Taylor has impressed during pre-season and he was deservedly part of the first-team squad at Burnley last weekend.

"He had a very productive loan spell at Doncaster last season, and this new contract is a reward for his hard work and progress he's made since he arrived."
