HUMPHRIES RETURNS TO THE SEAGULLS
Central midfielder Lloyd Humphries has returned to the Seagulls on a permanent deal following his departure from Cardiff City.
Manager Scott Bartlett said:
It’s no secret what we think of Lloyd, this is the 3rd time I have signed him. I think he’s a terrific person and a very good player and I’m delighted he has joined us permanently.
“I think it’s mutually beneficial, we add a fantastic player to our squad and he has a platform to kickstart his career again.
“He’s still only 22 years old, he has plenty of time to get back into the Football League and let’s be honest, if he can prove his fitness over a sustained period of time that’ll happen for him.
“In the meantime though he can get his head down, enjoy his football and be successful with us.”
Lloyd said:
“I’m really happy to sign for Weston again.
“I’ve really enjoyed my two previous spells on loan here, and I’m looking forward to playing in front of the fans again this season.”
