Defender Adam Webster will leave Brighton when his contract expires next month after seven years and 158 appearances.

The 31-year-old defender joined the Seagulls in 2019 from Bristol City and was part of the side that earned the club its highest league finish when they came sixth in 2023 and qualified for the Europa League.

Webster suffered a knee injury during pre-season in summer 2025 and did not feature in his final campaign.

"I will never forget what you did for us, especially last season in a tough period," said Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler.

"You stepped up as a great leader. You stepped up as a great person. You really showed our principles on the pitch and beside the pitch.

"You have a great positivity in your character, and that always makes a team run, makes a team work hard and makes a team successful."

Brighton say Webster will continue his rehabilitation with the club's medical staff over the summer.

"You will come back stronger. Rehab feels lonely sometimes, but I want you to know that you should never feel lonely," added Hurzeler.

"You have so many people here in Brighton - in the team, players and staff - who will be there for you, who will support you even when you're not here any more.

"I always said to you that good things will come to good people, and you are a great person, so great things will come to you. All the best for your future. Stay strong, and we will see each other on the pitch."
