Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a new contract with Finland international goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa.

The 32-year-old has signed a one-year contract, extending his stay until June 2018. Maenpaa joined Albion from Dutch side VVV-Venlo in 2015, and has made nine cup appearances and one Championship start over the past two seasons.

Chris Hughton said: "Niki has been a great asset for the club over the past two years, and I am really pleased he has committed his future to the club.

"He has not played as many games as he would have liked, through no fault of his own, but his attitude has been fantastic throughout that time and his contribution to the squad should not be underestimated.
