Brighton have confirmed Bruno has joined the club as a senior player development coach.

The fans' favourite announced his retirement from playing in May and joins Graham Potter's backroom staff.

Potter signed a four-year deal as head coach on 20 May and brings Bruno, 38, in to work closely with new players.

Potter said: "I am aware of Bruno's influence at the club, both on and off the field, and we're delighted he's agreed to stay on in this new role."
