Glenn Murray has extended his Albion contract by a further year.

The Seagulls' six-goal top marksman is now committed to the club until the end of next season.

Murray, who recently hit his 100th goal for the club, and is a key part of their bid to firmly establish themselves in the Premier League outfit.

But the fact he was due to run out of contract at the end of this campaign was of concern to some fans.

Albion manager Chris Hughton said: “We are delighted to have extended Glenn’s contract. He has proved a vital member of the team and his goals have been crucial to us.

“Glenn has scored consistently for us, first in helping us win promotion, and now in the Premier League as we seek to establish ourselves at the top level.

“He’s proved himself at the very top late in his career, and his professionalism and approach on and off the pitch is a big factor in why he’s still doing it now.

“After recently reaching the 100-goal mark for the club, I know Glenn will be hungry to add more goals to that tally, and I am pleased he’s extended his time with the club.”

Murray is the club’s post-war record goalscorer and is 23 behind all-time top marksman Tommy Cook.
