Albion’s 2013/14 season is just a month away and the Seagulls kick-off their pre-season campaign against Whitehawk on Saturday.

The first of six pre-season friendlies will be played at Whitehawk’s Enclosed Ground, kick-off 3pm, and Head of Football Operations David Burke says the fixture is a vital step in building towards the new campaign.

David Burke said, “The players have been working extremely hard since they reported back for pre-season, and the game on Saturday is a chance for them to step up their preparations.

“The aim is to give everyone who has been training with the first team a run-out, as well as some of the development squad players.”

Meanwhile, Liam Bridcutt is making good progress with his recovery from a foot problem and is hoping to resume training with the rest of the squad soon.

Gordon Greer has been involved with the majority of training sessions this week after recovering from a knee injury, with a view to taking part on Saturday.

Craig Mackail-Smith and Will Hoskins continue with their rehabilitation from long-term injuries.

Tickets for this friendly are pay on the gate only and priced at £10 for adults and £5 for under-16s and over-65s.
