Brighton have gained something of a reputation in recent years as a club that excels at identifying and nurturing young talent. Countless players have passed through the gates of the American Express Community Stadium, emerging as top athletes and netting the club a tidy profit.

Loans play an important role in the football world. Younger players who aren’t quite ready for the first team can go out and get game time elsewhere, allowing them to build experience and skills before returning to their parent club. Other teams might look to loan players to solve last-minute injury issues or squad gaps. Brighton makes extensive use of the loans system.
