    Brighton midfielder Jack Hinshelwood spoke to the Albion Unlimited podcast about Saturday's goalscoring return against Brentford - his first game in over two months: "My season probably hasn't got going yet. I was a bit unlucky with the way that the injury panned out against Bournemouth.

    "It's been 10 weeks now and I've been grinding away in the background, supporting the boys from every angle and to be back out there amongst it is really amazing and I hope it continues.

    "My girlfriend at home is probably as delighted as I am that I'm back playing! It's a lonely place when you're injured. I feel for some of the boys, like Solly [March] and Webby [Adam Webster]. These times are hard so we really have to stick together, but we know when we come back you get moments like this, which make every dark day worth it.

    "If we continue showing that character [as against Brentford] going forward, it's going to be an exciting season for us. We've just got to keep this momentum going now and really demand from each other day in, day out and make sure our standards stay high.

    "It could be a really exciting period for the rest of the season."

    The return of Jack Hinshelwood could not have come at a better time, as he popped up to score the winner against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

    It's fantastic to see the fruit of our academy contributing to first-team success, with Jack being the first player to graduate every age group since its opening in 2014.

    The rise of Hinshelwood feels a little bit more special as I believe he truly embodies the club's long-term vision. Our dream to create a pathway to the Premier League from our academy now has clear positive evidence.

    The identity of our football club is clearly deep-rooted, and now with the likes of Harry Howell and James Beadle also rising to the top, it truly is a bright future for coming generations.

    His return felt almost symbolic yesterday, especially in how we turned things around just a minute after he was introduced. The belief around the stadium, especially from where I was sitting, certainly lifted.

    In a season that has given consistent inconsistency, it's going to be key to get players of Hinshelwood's quality back in and around the starting XI to fully boost our European hopes.

    Yes, it's been frustrating so far this season, but it truly feels now that we are building momentum and shifting the margins in our favour. All you have to do is look at the Premier League table so far this season to really understand just how tough it is this year.

    With no international break until March, now is the time for us to build on this momentum and continue to do what we know we can do best.
