Striker says he didn't want to go anywhere else

Long-serving Brighton & Hove Albion forward Gary Hart is ready to sign a new one-year contract. The 33-year-old, who cost £1,000 and a set of tracksuits when he joined from Stansted in 1998, is about to embark on his 13th season with the Seagulls. Though he only started once in League One last term, Hart is adamant he did not want to join another club and is happy to have agreed an extension. "I have agreed another year, but it hasn't been signed at this moment, because the paperwork couldn't be done," Hart told The Argus. "It has been a long time coming and sorting out. I think they were waiting for me to prove my fitness and my fitness is good. "I had other clubs interested early doors, but Brighton always said they were going to offer me a deal if fit and I always wanted to stay here. I didn't want to go anywhere else so I'm just happy."
