Brighton & Hove Albion defensive pair Gordon Greer and Bruno have both agreed one-year contract extensions with the club.
*
Both players' contracts were due to expire at the end of the current campaign, but the duo have been handed extended deals until June 2016.
*
Manager Sami Hyypia said, "Gordon and Bruno are two important players for us. They have great quality and experience, bring a great deal to the squad in terms of their leadership on and off the pitch, and each has earned their new contract with the club.*
*
"Gordon has proved to be a great captain for this club and he has demonstrated with his performances both for the Albion and at international level that he is a great professional. He works hard and sets standards every day, and is a key player for us. I am delighted we have extended his contract.
*
"Likewise with Bruno. He is a great influence upon the rest of the squad, as well as a very good defender and footballer. He has great quality on the ball and has shown he is capable of producing that when playing in several different positions."
