Albion under-21 centre-back Tom Dallison has joined Cambridge United on loan.

Dallison, 20, has signed with the League Two outfit until January 8 and will get a first run out in tonight’s friendly at Newmarket Town.

The Seagulls are keen to see how Dallison, who came through the youth ranks at Arsenal, fares in the Football League.

They loaned him to Crawley last season and he enjoyed an impressive debut against Plymouth.

But the loan was cut short after it was discovered he fractured a toe in that game.
