Brighton have announced the signing of Dan Burn from Wigan Athletic. The defender will return on loan to the 'Latics' until January.

Burn, 26, only had a year remaining on his Wigan contract, and has signed for the 'Seagulls' for an undisclosed fee.

The centre-back is currently sidelined with an injury, though will return to action 'shortly' for Paul Cook's side.

Burn spoke about his career move: “I’m buzzing to be here because it’s been in the pipeline for a little while, so I’m very glad to get it over the line.

“I get another crack at the Premier League, so hopefully I can do my bit to help the team – I saw a lot of their matches on the TV last season and they did very well.

“I don’t know many of the lads personally, but I’ve played against most of them, so I was very glad to see them do well.”
