Brighton manager Micky Adams has made Colchester United winger Kevin McLeod his second signing of the summer.
The 27-year-old former Everton, QPR and Swansea player will officially move to the Withdean Stadium on July 1 on a two-year deal after turning down the offer of a new contract with the U's.
Adams said: "He's a left-winger with good pace who can deliver crosses and, in his last game for Colchester in the Championship, he got two goals at Scunthorpe - one with a header, one with a shot - so he offers a goal threat as well.
"At this level he's going to be a terrific signing for us. I liked what I saw of him at Colchester in that brief spell I had there. He works hard, wants to improve and wants to get back to the Championship."
Last week the Seagulls signed former Coventry City defender Colin Hawkins.
