March Madness: The Sensational Rise of Solly March

Solly March has recently signed a new three-year deal that will run up to 2026. Everyone at Brighton and Hove Albion are understandably delighted that the winger has committed his future to his boyhood club, not least his manager Roberto De Zerbi who spoke of how he “deserves” this new contract and labelled March a “great” player.

Born on the South Coast, March started his career at local non-league side Lewes but only played once before being snapped up by Brighton. Coincidently at that time in 2011, Newcastle were offering to take March on trial, now 12 years later they appear to be after him again but once again it looks as if he’ll opt to stay closer to home.

March would then play 75 times in the EFL Championship for Brighton, playing only a bit-part role as they were promoted to the Premier League in the 2016/17 season. Despite playing further forward than he was at the start of Roberto De Zerbi’s reign, before the start of this season the winger only had four top-division goals to his name.
