Three of Albion's key players from their promotion-winning season have signed new long-term contracts with the club.

Lewis Dunk and Anthony Knockaert have both penned new five-year contracts until June 2022, while Shane Duffy has signed a new four-year contract until 2021.

Dunk and Duffy starred in central defence for the Seagulls last season, while winger Knockaert was the Championship player of the year.

Albion boss Chris Hughton said: "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.
