Ghana international Tariq Lamptey has put to rest any transfer speculation by signing a one-year contract extension with Brighton & Hove Albion, the Premier League club officially announced.
The new deal will keep the dynamic right-back at the Amex Stadium until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Lamptey, 24, has been a key figure for Brighton since making his debut in 2020. Known for his electrifying pace, defensive awareness, and attacking flair, he has made 122 appearances for the Seagulls, scoring five goals and registering 12 assists.
An official club statement read:
“Defender Tariq Lamptey has agreed a one-year contract extension with Albion.
The 24-year-old Ghana international made his Albion debut in 2020 and has made 122 appearances for the club, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists.”
Brighton’s newly appointed head coach Fabian Hürzeler expressed his delight at Lamptey’s decision to stay:
“We’re delighted Tariq is staying with us. He wants to help the team achieve our targets and gives us great options in wide areas. We are looking forward to Tariq being part of our journey next season.”
Lamptey made 20 appearances across all competitions during the 2024-25 season, contributing three goals and two assists—highlighting his value in both defensive and attacking phases of the game.
