Elliott Bennett is keeping a close watch on Albion's progress under Chris Hughton.

The winger back with parent club Norwich following his loan stint with the Seagulls was not involved in the Canaries' win at Bournemouth yesterday under new manager Alex Neil.

Instead he tweeted within minutes of Albion's 1-0 victory at Charlton: "No surprise a good result for @OfficialBHAFC at The Valley. Nice bit of momentum starting to build up!"

The Argus revealed yesterday that Hughton has not ruled out a return to the club for Bennett after they worked together at Norwich.

Albion won two matches and drew two during Bennett's seven-appearance loan return in November and December for former boss Sami Hyypia and caretaker Nathan Jones.

The 26-year-old was a key member of Gus Poyet's League One title winning squad in 2010-11.
