- Kuipers eyes play-off push
Brighton goalkeeper Michels Kuipers is confident the Seagulls can clinch a play-off spot next term after penning a new one-year deal with the club.
The 32-year-old Dutchman is keen to re-establish himself as the number one shot-stopper at the Withdean Stadium after being restricted to only 18 first-team appearances last season.
He told the club's official website: "I'm pleased to sign the contract. I've really enjoyed my time in Brighton and I think that next season will be exciting.
"Last season was a bit of a transitional period but we're going to try and get ourselves in the play-offs at least next season.
"Personally I can't wait for pre-season to start. I've been keeping myself fit and I'm in very good shape at the minute. As far as I'm concerned, roll on pre-season.
"I spoke with the manager at the end of last season and we spoke about the plans for this year. I'm fully behind his thoughts and just hope that we can push into the play-offs, which is an ambition that we're all going for."
