Two signings in two days, and it doesn't look like we're finished yet! As the first team head back to base to prepare for the new season, McGhee and Knight were busy signing a new player for the club, courtesy of the Coca Cola prize money.

 

Colin Kazim-Richards takes the squad number 22, which used to belong to Hammond. Despite interests from a number of other Championship clubs, and even some Premiership clubs such as Wigan and Leicester, Colin told the official site that it was an easy decision to choose Brighton after meeting McGhee and Knight for the first time.

 

18-year-old Kazim turned down a new two year deal with Bury, where he made his debut in last seasons LDV vans trophy tie against their local rivals Stockport County. Colin has now signed a new three year deal with The Albion, who he believes could get 20,000 fans each week!

 

Confident Kazim believes he will make an immediate impact at the club, and begin the season in the starting XI. Training at the club begins today, and Colin's target is to prove he is worthy of the position he wants. He says "I've got quite few strengths. If I'm in front of goal, I'll score. If someone's in front of me, I'll go past them."

 

The winner of the £250,000 prize for the club, Aaron Berry was there to meet Kazim yesterday. He said is he was McGhee, he would have also bought Colin.

 

However, that doesn't now mean its all over! It seems that Brighton assistant manager Bob Booker has revealed that the club are still hunting an experienced striker. Despite the arrival of Kazim, Booker said "We're probably still looking for three or four players in different positions but it's not easy, every team is out there trying to sign players."

 

Watch out for more signings from the club in the coming weeks as we head towards the new season!
