- Carpenter exits Seagulls
Veteran midfielder Richard Carpenter has left Brighton and Hove Albion due to a lack of first-team opportunities this season.
The 34-year-old had been with Albion since the summer of 2000, making well over 250 appearances for the Withdean club.
Manager Dean Wilkins told the club's official website: "From my experiences of working with him, he's the ultimate professional footballer, both on and off the pitch.
"His attitude and application from Monday through to Saturday was superb. I don't think I've seen anybody better in terms of his work ethic, discipline and determination.
"I have great admiration for him and I'm sorry it's ended like this, but it's a mutual decision and I wish him all the best for the future."
