Baker-Boaitey extends Birghton contract

Brighton and Hove Albion have announced that Benicio Baker-Boaitey has signed a one year contract extension with the English Premier League side.

There is also an option for an additional year included in the deal.

“We’re really happy that Benicio has extended his contract with the club,” Albion’s Under 21 Head Coach Shannon Ruth said, speaking to the club’s website.

“Since he arrived, it’s been clear to see what an exciting player he can be and last season he showed some real promising moments.

“We’re looking forward to working with him more over the next two years and look forward to seeing his continued development.”

The 19 year old initially joined the club on loan from FC Porto but the move became permanent last summer.
