Brighton Secures Young Talent

Brighton has made a significant move in their pursuit of young talent by acquiring 19-year-old striker George Munday from Cambridge United. The deal is on a two-year contract, with specific financial details undisclosed.

Munday, who joined the Cambridge United academy at nine years old, had previously played for St Ives Town and Bedford Town before finding his form last season with Hereford in the National League North. In 2024, he made his professional debut for Cambridge United, netting nine goals in 22 appearances.

Integration into Brighton's Environment

Men’s under-21s head coach Shannon Ruth expressed excitement about Munday joining their squad: "George had an excellent second half of the season with Hereford, having previously made his professional debut for Cambridge United. We’re looking forward to bringing him into our environment and seeing his game continue to develop." The young striker will now join the Premier League 2 champions as they prepare for a new campaign.

Munday’s move to Brighton represents an opportunity for the promising forward to showcase his skills in a higher level of football, with the support of experienced coaches within the club.
