Brighton Extends Tariq Lamptey Contract Through 2026

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler has expressed his delight following Tariq Lamptey's contract extension, securing the Ghanaian defender's stay until June 2026. Lamptey, who joined Brighton from Chelsea in 2020, has made 122 appearances for the club, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists, despite injury setbacks limiting his game time last season. Hurzeler praised Lamptey’s pace, energy, and tactical versatility, highlighting his importance as a wide-area option and his commitment to helping the team achieve its goals. Lamptey's extension is seen as a significant boost for Brighton as they prepare for the 2025/26 Premier League season, with hopes of building on recent successes. The defender has also earned eight caps for Ghana since switching his international allegiance in 2022. His renewal was part of a series of contract extensions announced by the club, reinforcing squad stability ahead of the new campaign.
