Brighton defenders Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy have signed new five-year deals at the club.

The duo are the Seagulls' first-choice partnership in central defence, and provide Brighton with a boost ahead of their clash with West Ham on Friday evening, live on Sky Sports.

Manager Chris Hughton said: "I am delighted for both Lewis and Shane. They have been terrific players for the club, helping us win promotion and establish ourselves in the Premier League last season.

"They have formed a very good central defensive partnership, and have played a really important role in what we've achieved.

"Both are vital members of the squad, and it's very pleasing that they've committed their long-term futures to the club."

Dunk graduated from the academy at Brighton and has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the club.

He was an ever-present in the Premier League last season and helped Brighton to a 15th-placed finish, in what was the club's first ever campaign in the division.
