    Brighton have promoted Mike Cave to the role of sporting director.

    Cave, who previously served as technical director and assistant technical director, first joined the club in November 2022.

    He succeeds Jason Ayto, who left in June after just nine months with the Seagulls.

    Brighton deputy chairman Paul Barber told the club's website: "We are delighted that Mike's responsibilities are increasing. In his four years here, Mike has developed exceptionally well and is well respected inside and outside of our club.

    "Mike's responsibilities have expanded over time and he continues to impress with his knowledge, enthusiasm and capacity for hard work."

    Cave said: "This is an exceptionally exciting role to be taking on - with the continued opportunity to work with staff across the club who are leaders in their respective fields.

    "The work for the new season is already well under way and I am looking forward to seeing what it will bring."

  10. Vardy or Vlahovic as Welbeck cover? Free agents and who to avoid

    We asked for your views on which free agents Brighton could target this summer and whether there is one player the Seagulls are linked with but you hope they never sign.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Pedro: Dusan Vlahovic has to be a target. Going into a European campaign with a 34-year-old Danny Welbeck as our main attacker isn't enough and we've been crying out for an established striker for years.

    Dean: Jamie Vardy might be worth a one-year contract. A good goalscorer to finish all the chances we make. Wouldn't be an expensive gamble.

    James: I'd bring Yves Bissouma back for sure especially if Carlos Baleba leaves. He seems to have had a few disciplinary issues at Spurs but he was as good as gold at the Albion. Not sure why we are signing so many central defenders - Oliver Boscgali looks the business so I hope he's not moving down the pecking order. And if Stefanos Tzimas isn't going to be fit for the start of the season then Welbz is going to need some support up front. Bit worried Euro participation will affect our league position next season but bring it on!

    Penrith: Would love to see Mo Salah in blue and white stripes, even in the twilight of his career. Don't want us to sign Luka Vuskovic at any price.

    Steve: Certainly not Bissouma. Temperamental players of his type upset the squad and the dressing room. The others on the list do not come within a mile of the Seagulls' wage budget and would set off unsustainable demands if they came in on special deals. Leave things as they are - we are never going to be part of the big five or even 10 and we could be in for a season of West Ham or Tottenham uncertainty while competing in Europe.

  11. Two people hiding under an umbrella during hot weather. They are stood next to a beach with people on it.
