Albion fans have been asked by the club to help pay for new loan capture Tony Rougier.

The Seagulls have requested a further donation from the Forty Note Fund towards the wages of Rougier, signed on a month's loan from Reading.

Doug Clarke, a trustee of the Fund, said: "I think we will be looking to give them somewhere in the region of £10,000 or £15,000."

The Fund, set up by supporters to raise cash for new players for the relegation-threatened Seagulls, contributed £15,000 towards the wages of on-loan goalkeeper Ben Roberts from Charlton.

The running total will be boosted by a benefit gig, featuring former chart toppers Phats & Small, at Hove Town Hall on Friday.

Trinidad and Tobago front man Rougier is expected to make his full debut at Gillingham after coming off the bench to score the winner against Millwall last Saturday.
