Albion under-23 defender Ben Hall has signed for League Two side Notts County on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old, who signed for the Seagulls from Motherwell in June 2016, will link up with Kevin Nolan’s team for the remainder of the campaign, as the Magpies continue their push for promotion.

Albion development boss Simon Rusk said: “This is a great opportunity for Ben to gain experience in a first-team environment as Notts County challenge at the top end of the league table.

“He’s been a regular in the heart of defence so far this season and his form has rightly attracted interest from outside the club.

“It’s a fresh and exciting challenge for Ben and we wish him the best for the remainder of the season.”

Hall skippered the under-23s in their Parafix Sussex Senior Cup win at Whitehawk last week.
