Brighton have completed the permanent signing of Aaron Mooy from Huddersfield after the midfielder impressed on loan with the Seagulls this season.

The 29-year-old Australian international has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee, after scoring two goals in 17 Premier League appearances for Graham Potter's side.

Brighton boss Potter said: "We are delighted to have agreed a permanent deal with Aaron and Huddersfield. He's been an important player for us and will have a key part to play going forward.

"We knew what Aaron would bring, and he's proved to be an excellent addition to our squad and a great professional both on and off the pitch."

The 29-year-old made 119 appearances for Huddersfield during three seasons at the Yorkshire club.

Huddersfield signed him from Manchester City in 2017 for around £10m after a successful loan spell which saw them promoted to the Premier League.
