Brighton U21 coach Shannon Ruth was happy to see three of his players part of the senior squad for their draw with Sheffield United.
Jack Hinshelwood was joined by Benicio Baker-Boaitey and Mark O'Mahony for the 1-1 result.
Ruth told the club's website: "I am delighted for them. That's why we have our under-21s, why our under-21 staff work so hard - it's to try and help the players achieve their dreams.
"For those boys to be on the bench in the Premier League is a really big achievement.
"They will want to keep pushing to try and get on the pitch but I am very proud of the three lads who are representing the academy."
