Ireland defender Duffy extends deal with Brighton
Ireland defender Shane Duffy has extended his contract with Premier League new boys Brighton.
Duffy has penned a new four-year deal with the club, with his team-mates Lewis Dunk and Anthony Knockaert also commiting to new deals.
The deals for Dunk and Knockaert will see them stay at the club until 2022, with Duffy’s deal running until 2021.
Speaking about the contract extensions, Brighton boss Chris Hughton commented: "Lewis, Shane and Anthony were key members of our promotion-winning side last season, and I fully expect them to be important members of the team once again this season.
"They're relishing the step up to the new level and they each have the capability to perform and excel in the Premier League - and they have certainly earned these new deals with their performances on the pitch.
"I'm absolutely delighted that three key members of the squad have committed their futures to the Albion."
