Son of a gun Jack Hinshelwood pens new Brighton deal

Brighton midfielder Jack Hinshelwood has signed a new contract to June 2026.

The 18-year-old's father Adam is a former Brighton player, while great grandfather Wally played for Fulham, Chelsea, Reading and Bristol City. Wally's sons Paul and Martin both played for Crystal Palace, with Martin going on to coach and manage the Albion.

Brighton U21 coach Shannon Ruth: Jack has made the step up to under-21s football seamlessly this season, and he has had the opportunity to train with the first team on numerous occasions while also being named on the bench in the Premier League.

He is an excellent example to our other young players coming through of the hard work and commitment you need to be successful when trying to make the step up."
