Albion have added to their goalkeeper ranks.

They have brought in teenager Sebastian Jensen for their under-21s.

The 18-year-old has joined on a contract that runs until June 2025.

He is the son of Danish goalkeeper Brian Jensen, whose lengthy playing career included a spell at Crawley.

The former Burnley and West Brom player is now goalkeeper coach at Shrewsbury Town.

Sebastian has previously played for Everton under-18s and Stoke City under-18s.

Albion under-21s head coach Shannon Ruth said: “We’re looking forward to continuing to work with Seb after a successful period on trial.

“He adds really good competition to our goalkeeping group.

“We’re excited to see him develop over the course of the season.”

The Seagulls’ array of young goalkeepers includes Killian Cahill, Hugo Fisher, Steven Hall and Lorenz Ferdinand while Tom McGill is among those out on loan.

Meanwhile, Albion duo Harry Howell and Cam Peupion have been shortlisted for the Premier League 2 player of the month award for December.

Albion under-21s are involved in the Sussex Transport Senior Cup this evening as they take on Isthmian League outfit Burgess Hill at Culver Road, Lancing (7.30pm).

The tie has been switched from Hillians’ home as the young Seagulls bid to regain the trophy, which was won by Horsham last season.
