Brighton full-back Joel Veltman has spoken about his ongoing contract situation with the Seagulls as he reveals that he recently started working with new agents.

The reliable defender recently broke back into Fabian Hurzeler’s starting XI after a spell on the sidelines due to the German’s persistence with deploying midfielder Mats Wieffer at right-back.

The 34-year-old has started four of Brighton’s last five games, and since his return, the Albion have not tasted defeat, drawing against West Ham and Bournemouth, and winning against Burnley and Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.
