Albion have completed the loan signing of Manchester City left-back Wayne Bridge.

The former Southampton and Chelsea star arrives on a season-long deal.

Bridge is the third player with a wealth of top-flight experience to join the Seagulls this summer following Tomasz Kuszczak and Bruno Saltor.

Boss Gus Poyet said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have Wayne with us. He has been one of the top-three left-backs in this country for many years.

“There were a lot of things that had to come together to make it happen. Firstly, David Platt has been great at Manchester City and then Wayne and his agent have helped a lot too.

“It was not an easy one to secure, but this is what we want at this club. He's a quality player with lots of international experience."
