Liam Rosenior says being dumped by Hull and moving to Albion has been a blessing in disguise.
Rosenior was released by Hull at the end of last season after they were relegated back to the Championship.
The versatile 31-year-old was snapped up by the Seagulls within a month and has played an important part in their promotion challenge.
Hull are in the play-offs but Albion are seven points better off and still have a chance of taking Rosenior straight back to the Premier League automatically with two games to go.
He told The Argus: “It doesn’t feel lucky at the time when you get released but it feels like a blessing now. I’m a big believer in that, if you do things right and you are a good person then good things happen to you. That’s the way I try to treat my children, that’s the messages I give to them.
“Sometimes things that happen that you think are terrible in your life can end up in a positive. That has definitely happened to me.
“I saw it coming (at Hull) but I don’t know how many players play a massive percentage of games in the Premier League, stay up, play in an FA Cup final, captain a club in Europe and get released a year later. I don’t know many players who have been through that, which was tough.
“But, as soon as I heard Brighton were interested, it just made me want to pick up the challenge again and I saw it as a very similar situation to Hull when I joined them.
“When you get released or sacked from a job you can go one of two ways, get down in the dumps and feel sorry for yourself or move on.
“I’ve just been really lucky. I couldn’t have come to a better football club and hopefully it will work out fantastically.
“It will be an unbelievable story for me personally but more importantly an unbelievable story for the club.”
Rosenior is set to shrug off a back spasm and make his 31st league appearance of the season at left-back in Monday’s final home game against Derby (2.30) as Albion aim for two more wins to guarantee a place in the top flight for the first time in 37 years.
So are we, Liam, so are we.
