Jayson Molumby

Jayson Molumby signed his first professional contract for the Seagulls in August 2016 having joined a year earlier, and became an integral member of Simon Rusk's under-23 side for the 2016/17 Premier League 2 Division 2 season.

The central midfielder made his first-team debut in the 2017/18 campaign against Barnet in the Carabao Cup, before also playing against AFC Bournemouth in the following round at the Vitality Stadium.

Injuries disrupted the remainder of Molumby's season, but Albion’s under-23s were able to seal promotion to the Premier League 2 Division 1 despite the Irishman's absence.

Molumby made his long-awaited return to action against Manchester City at the Academy Stadium, before taking his place on the bench for the first team against Derby County the following day.

The 21-year-old spent the 2019/20 season on loan at Sky Bet Championship side Millwall, going onto make 40 appearances in all competitions.

The midfielder has also represented Republic of Ireland at various age groups, and captained the under-21s at the 2019 Toulon tournament in France, going onto make his senior international debut in a 1-0 defeat to Finland in September 2020.
