Albion new boy Mathias Normann is back in the Norwegian top fight after joining Molde on loan.

The midfielder has signed until January and links up with ex-Seagulls defender Vegard Forren, who also signed recently.

Normann, 21, arrived at Albion from Norwegian second division club FK Bodo/Glimt last month.

He will now work under Molde boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, whose side are fourth in the table.

Albion boss Chris Hughton said: “This loan move is a good chance for Mathias to gain regular first-team football in a competitive Norwegian league.

“He already has good experience playing senior football in Norway, and this will aid his development.”

Normann has played for Norway at youth level, under-17s and under-18s.
