Kipras Kazukolovas moved from Lithuania to join Albion in July 2017, but after featuring three times in the 2017/18 campaign, the defender suffered a long-term injury.

Following a year and a half on the sidelines, Kazukolovas returned to play the final four matches of Albion’s 2018/19 Premier League South season — all of which the Seagulls won.

Kazukolovas spent pre-season with Albion’s under-23s ahead of the 2019/20 Premier League 2 season, as the defender looks to cement his place in the team.
