Brighton captain Bruno will retire from playing after Sunday's final match of the season at home to Manchester City.

The Spanish full-back, 38, joined Brighton from Valencia in 2012 and has made 234 appearances for the club.

He was a key figure in the Seagulls' Premier League promotion in 2017 and they hope he will be involved with the club in a "non-playing capacity".

"He has been instrumental in our progress as a football club," said Brighton boss Chris Hughton.

"He's been an outstanding player, an outstanding professional and is an outstanding person."
