Kacper Lopata signed for the Seagulls from Bristol City in November 2018, and the central defender went on to make 11 appearances in the Premier League South for Albion’s under-18s.

Lopata also featured in Albion’s FA Youth Cup run to the fifth round, appearing in victories over West Ham United and Manchester United, before exiting the competition at Everton.

The defender spent pre-season with Albion’s under-23s ahead of the 2019/20 Premier League 2 campaign, as he looks to make the next step up.
