A Macclesfield-born footballer has signed for a top-flight club.

Brighton and Hove Albion have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Sebastian Jensen.

The 18-year-old is the son of former Premier League player and current Shrewsbury Town goalkeeping coach, Brian Jensen.

In his playing days, Brian made more than 250 appearances for Burnley.

Nicknamed 'Beast', the Dane also enjoyed stints at West Bromwich Albion, Bury, Mansfield Town and Crawley.

Sebastian meanwhile joins the Seagulls' under-21s squad, having previously played for Everton Under-18s and Stoke Under-18s.

Interim coach Shannon Ruth said: "We're looking forward to continuing to work with Seb after a successful period on trial.

"He adds really good competition to our goalkeeping group.

"We're excited to see him develop over the course of the season."

Sebastian's contract at Brighton runs until June 2025.
