Brighton news: Veltman confirms new one-year deal

I have to admit, I was not expecting a news line to come out of a Brighton fans’ virtual question-and-answer session this afternoon.

Former striker Glenn Murray was asking the questions against digitally created backdrops of both Amex Stadium and the home dressing room.

Veltman, 33, was asked if he thought he would spend the rest of his career at Brighton.

“My contract was expiring in the summer but I have extended it by another year,” he said. “Beyond that, I will leave my options open.

“I have been here for five years and still love it but you never know in football.”
