Maty Ryan has thanked Albion's staff, players and supporters after completing a loan move to Arsenal until the end of the season.
The Australia international departed for the Emirates on Friday after making 121 appearances for the club.
Posting on Twitter, he said, “To my Brighton family, I guess it's a goodbye for now. It's been an incredible three-and-a-half years together until now.
“To my teammates, coaches and all our amazing staff I thank you for all the support, mentoring and friendship. I've grown on and off the football pitch over my time here and have made friends that will last a long time after my football career.
“To all the loyal fans, it's been an honour to wear your badge. I've always given my absolute all to the club and left no stone unturned in trying to contribute the best I can to the successes of the club. It’s been a privilege to play at home and away in front of you all.
“Over these last three-and-a-half years we have shared some the best memories of my career and Brighton will always have a special place in my heart.
“I wish you all the very best for the remainder of the season.”
1/3 To my Brighton family, I guess it’s a goodbye for now. It’s been an incredible 3.5 years together until now.
