Solly March is set to leave Brighton as a free agent this summer, The Brighton Base can confirm.

The winger made his 300th appearance for the Seagulls over the weekend, coming on in the 59th minute to replace Diego Gomez against Manchester United. The late cameo will be March’s final appearance in an Albion shirt.

Brighton held an option to extend their No. 7’s contract by a further year, but after a series of talks, it was ultimately agreed by all parties that the versatile forward would depart after 16 years on the Sussex coast.

March joined Brighton from non-league side Lewes in 2011 and has gone on to score 26 goals and register 31 assists for the club, playing a starring role under Roberto De Zerbi, in particular, when the Seagulls qualified for the Europa League in 2023.
