Title: Mac Allister Extends Brighton Contract Until 2027
Brighton & Hove Albion have extended their agreement with forward Mac Allister until 2027, ensuring that the talented player will remain with the club for another five years.
The move was confirmed by Brighton's official website on Friday, with Allister signing a new deal which runs through to the end of the 2026-2027 season. The extension comes as part of the club's ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad and secure their position in the English Premier League.
Allister, who joined Brighton from Newcastle United in 2018, has quickly established himself as one of the team's key players. He has scored 24 goals in 55 appearances this season, helping Brighton to climb up the league table and secure promotion to the top flight for the first time since 1998.
"The extension is great news for both Mac and the club," said Brighton manager Chris Hughton. "He has been an important part of our squad since he arrived, and we're delighted to keep him here for another five years."
Allister's decision to stay with Brighton is likely due to the club's strong financial situation and its continued investment in youth development programs. The 22-year-old has already helped the club develop several promising young talent, including goalkeeper Ben Turner and midfielder Jack Hunt.
Despite his success, Allister remains humble about his role at Brighton. "I'm just doing my job and trying to help the team win games," he told BBC Sport. "It's always nice to know I'm part of something special."
As Brighton looks to continue their upward trajectory in the coming seasons, they will undoubtedly rely on Allister's experience and leadership to guide them towards even greater heights. With the extension in place, it seems like they've found a reliable partner in the right place at the right time.
