Tom Dallison: Cambridge United sign Brighton defender on six-month loan

Tom Dallison made his Football League debut for Crawley against Plymouth in February

League Two club Cambridge United have signed Brighton defender Tom Dallison on a six-month loan deal.

The 20-year-old, who signed his first professional deal with the Seagulls in 2013, is yet to play in a senior first-team match for the Championship side.

After previous loan spells at Braintree and Dartford, he made one start in League Two for Crawley last season.

"Tom brings to us a genuine left-footed option at centre back," Cambridge boss Shaun Derry told the club website.
