Nike has re-upped as the kit supplier to the Premier League club Brighton in a three-year extension.

The agreement, which dates back to 2014, also covers Brighton’s under-23 men’s and under-21 women’s sides, as well as the club’s boys’ and girls’ academy teams.

Russell Wood, Brighton’s head of commercial, said: “We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with Nike since they became our technical supplier in 2014 and, in addition to our players benefitting from world-class sporting apparel, we have seen our replica shirt sales grow year on year.

“We are extremely proud to have two prestigious global brands like Nike and American Express on our shirts as we prepare for our third season in the top flight.”

Nike also sponsors Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

David Carmont, general manager of Nike in the UK and Ireland, added: “The extension builds on a successful partnership to date and we are excited by the opportunity to further develop the relationship between Nike and all of the club’s teams.

“The partnership reflects the ambitions of Brighton and Hove Albion and the Nike brand’s position within the world of football, in both the men’s and women’s games.”
