James Milner will join Brighton on a one-year contract when the midfielder’s Liverpool deal expires at the end of June.

The 37-year-old won six major honours including the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League during his eight years at Anfield.

“I’m very glad to welcome James to Brighton,” said coach Roberto De Zerbi.

“He’s an excellent addition for us and I’m sure he will help to bring us to an even higher level.”

The Seagulls will play in Europe for the first time next season after a sixth-placed league finish secured a Europa League spot.

Milner joined Liverpool in 2015, when the Reds were managed by Brendan Rodgers, and went on to help the club win their first Premier League title in 2020.

After beginning his career at Leeds United, he went on to play for Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Manchester City.

During his five years at City he helped the club land their first top-flight title for 44 years, in addition to winning the FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield.

Milner has made the third most appearances in Premier League history, with 619 in all, behind only Gareth Barry (652) and Ryan Giggs (632).
