Brett quickly rose through the ranks during his time at Amex Stadium. After joining in 2014, he was promoted to head of medical services in less than a year. 2020 saw him “appointed head of medical and performance,” as Brighton began to establish themselves as a Premier League regular, and a future challenger for the European positions.

Brighton’s Upcoming Matches
The domestic and continental campaigns continue for the Seagulls, even as Brett’s departure deprives them of a veteran presence in the medical rooms. A victory on Thursday against Marseille would see De Zerbi’s squad top their Europa League group as they seek the club’s first European trophy. Meanwhile, a trip to Arsenal awaits Brighton at the weekend.
