LAST UPDATE | 25 Apr 2023
EVAN FERGUSON HAS signed another contract extension at Brighton, his second deal with the club in just over six months.
The striker’s new deal runs until 2028.
Ferguson penned a professional contract running to 2026 when he turned 18 last October, and has now further extended that deal with improved terms.
We're delighted to announce that Evan Ferguson has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a contract that runs until 2028! 😁🇮🇪

The renewal is both a reward for Ferguson’s breakout season and a means of Brighton protecting his transfer value, as the teenager has caught the attention of England’s top sides – most notably Manchester United - along with clubs from La Liga and the Bundesliga.
Brighton acknowledge that there are very few young talents across Europe as rare as Ferguson: his age belies both his goalscoring record and all-round game. Since breaking into the team on a regular basis since the mid-season break for the World Cup, Ferguson has scored seven goals across the Premier League and FA Cup, and provided another two assists.
He has also made his full, senior international debut for Ireland, scoring in his first start against Latvia last month.
Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi says Ferguson has an extremely high ceiling.
“Evan’s contract extension is great news,” de Zerbi said.
“He trains and plays like a senior player with many years of experience and has become an important member of the squad.
“The aim is to help him become one of the strongest strikers in Europe.”
Brighton yesterday announced a new deal for Irish U21 international Andrew Moran, who has signed on with the club until 2027.
Updated at 5.15pm with confirmation of Ferguson contract.

That was cheap. If we had arranged and paid no doubt it would have been 2.5 million.
$7.9 million overall? Should have led with that!! Great for the Irish economy all the same – they should run another “Gathering” for politicians and Presidents!
And this is a scandal in the States? This happens on a daily basis here! We’re used to it, we’ve come to accept it as the norm!
Judging by the students reactions below her it looks like Malia is letting off some ripper of a fart.
And never have two young girls been so bored in their lives!
I wonder how many people invite guests to their house and total up what it cost to host them when they leave…
That’s 21c of toilet paper
€2.30 of electricity
€6 breakfast
80c milk and a tea bag
€1.50 for that glass you broke……
Don’t worry I don’t expect you to pay this I’m just making sure you and the whole world knows what my hospitality has cost me.
And where did all that money go seeing as Ireland is in such a ‘bad state’ ?
The culchies in the towns where he visited still have their communion money for fecks sake. No chance of that money being recirculated
Damn culchies. Stopping us all from being rich.
The book Animal Farm by George Orewell comes to my mind when I read about Obama admin and their extravagant lifestyles on US tax payers money.
During a recent trip to China the first family and their staff of about 70 stayed in the presidential suite at the Westin Chaoyang Hotel, which USA Today reports costs about $8,400 a night. Clearly the elite live by a different standard and have for a long time. Obama sure knows how to spend taxpayers money.
Yes he does, 100′s of millions on vacations, 4000 calorie state dinners, the best of everything including medical. Meanwhile the little people struggle with multiple part time jobs, poor quality high cost Obama care and young people not being able to find work after college. But he’s on their side right? What a delusion.
It won’t be too long before Obama will introduce in special powers to ban the very books that were written to demonize Soviet Russia. The tables have turned 180° and Now the United States has become the very same totalitarian Communist state.
The trip this week for our little president
To the uk prob will cost us a million
It’s a state visit, the host country pays.
The gathering or the shakedown with guilt of the diaspora as we all knew it to be.
And the book ” One flew over the cuckoos nest” comes to mind when I read some of these comments
Mike ya must be a dub
have your say
