Burgess Hill star striker Greg Luer has been snapped up by Premier League side Hull City AFC.
Club Chairman Kevin Newell announced today that terms have been agreed for the sale of the striker,
Subject to the player passing a medical, the transaction will be concluded when the transfer window opens on the 1 January 2015. Until then, Greg will remain a Burgess Hill player and will be available to play for the Club.
Chairman Newell added: “We are all delighted that Greg has made his first step towards realising his ambition to play at the highest level - though our pleasure is tinged with the disappointment that we will no longer have Greg’s talents at our disposal. He has been a key player for us this year, and has been influential in the tremendous start to the season we have enjoyed. However, we have always made it clear to our younger players that we would help them progress their careers in any way possible and we are happy to honour that pledge with Greg.”
Terms of the sale remain confidential but Mr Newell said: “I am sure that the terms agreed will stand the Club in good stead for the promotion push that we are undertaking.”
Manager Ian Chapman, said: “Everyone at the Club is very excited for Greg and I wish him every success. My task now is to make sure that his departure does not impact on our progress.

He had a trial at Oxford the other week and scored the winner against Wolves, who had a certain Mr. Kuszczak in goal.

just reading some articles, he had a trial at Millwall recently too. said he needs bulk up. difficult for clubs i suppose to judge if a player is enough to take on, cant just fill development/youth squads with lots of maybes and lose focus on the real talent. might turn out to be another Ian Wright story, or this might be the last time we hear of him.

With Welly involved we will look silly passing this one over if it comes good

I saw him play in the FA Cup tie at Sutton.
While he was on the pitch there was no doubt he was something pretty special

Exciting times for Burgess Hill 
He's been signed up for their dev squad. From what I have seen of him he's very good......good luck to him.

He's been excellent all season. Fantastic for him, big loss for the Hill.
Probably too tall for us

Watched him around 6 times this season and when he played for city college,bha do have a problem with giving local players a shout,i suppose Dean Wilkins got a few through to the first team but that been the exception to the rule.
Good luck Greg

Different scouts will have had different opinions of him some will be proved right some wrong. The way people are saying about him as if we should sign every player scouted. Those that fail still cost money. I would think the club get about 100 letters per month recommending a dead cert future star, we cant sign them all.

His name has not been entered on the famous database yet.
Cos as usual we haven't got our finger on the pulse. And he's a striker anyway.
.....And apparently he hates the Albion.......has tweeted comments apparently

But surely he realises that we have the best training ground in the country and that means if he is anything at all, he must sign for Brighton. Doesn't it?
