Albion legend Bobby Zamora has returned to the club for a third spell - this time in an honorary role.

The 37-year-old striker has been appointed as a Seagulls ambassador.

Zamora (below) will join current ambassador Alan Mullery, the first manager to steer Albion into the top flight, in representing the club at a selection of matches at the Amex and at other club and community events during the 2018-19 season.

The Argus: Chief executive Paul Barber said: "Bobby is a huge part of this club's history, so to have him back involved is just fantastic.

"Another club and football legend, Alan Mullery, has already shown what a hugely valuable and popular role being a club ambassador is and now Bobby's contribution to our club and to the game in general is being recognised.

"You could see when he returned to us in 2015 that Bobby was still a top-quality player and he played a very important part in the progress we've made to become a Premier League club.

"After making such a significant impact on the pitch, we recognise the value of having someone of Bobby's standing still involved with the club. Alongside Alan, Bobby will play an important part in raising our profile, both locally, and to a global audience.

"You only have to look at his recent appearances at the Amex to see how much Bobby's presence lifts the supporters and we are really looking forward to working with him over the next season."

Zamora scored 90 goals for Albion across two spells during an illustrious playing career which also included stints with Spurs, West Ham, Fulham and QPR, along with England recognition.
