Brighton midfielder Beram Kayal has signed a one-year contract extension that keeps him at the club until June 2020.

The 30-year-old Israel international joined from Celtic for an undisclosed fee in 2015 in what was Chris Hughton's first signing as Brighton boss.

He has made 110 appearances for the club, scoring four goals.

"I am delighted for Beram, he has been an important member of the squad and a very loyal servant to the club ever since he joined us almost four years ago," Hughton said.

"He is a player I know I can rely on and he demonstrated his dependability on Saturday against Spurs when he came on early in the game, and I thought he was excellent for us in midfield.
