"I would like to thank David Stockdale for his immense contribution over the past three seasons," Brighton manager Chris Hughton told the club website(www.brightonandhovealbion.com).

"He has been the stand-out goalkeeper in the Championship, and was a key member of our side as we went so close in 2016 and when we won promotion last season."
