Cumbrian striker Glenn Murray has signed a new one-year contract extension at Brighton.
The Seagulls striker, 35, from Maryport, is now committed to the Premier League club until the end of next season.
He remains first choice in attack for Albion and their top scorer this term with six goals.
"It’s very nice to have the security, especially when my family are based here, that’s a big thing for me," said the former Carlisle United and Workington Reds man.
"It wasn’t something I was losing sleep over, I was fully focused on the season as a whole and trying to keep Brighton in the Premier League.
"But it’s nice to put the next year to bed and know that I’ll be here at the club, hopefully playing in the Premier League again."
