The Seagulls have added to their squad by bringing wing back/midfielder George Mannion back to the club.
The 24-year-old was previously briefly at the Bay in 2016 when Paul Moore was manager, and scored in 3-1 win over Rhyl in a pre-season friendly, but moved on before making his league debut. He has also been with Chester, Northwich Vics, Prescot Cables and Glossop North End as well as having a spell in Australia.
Manager Craig Hogg commented: "I'm pleased George is joining us. He has trained with the squad for a number of weeks now and has done well. He is a wide player who is in fabulous condition, possesses good qualities and is quick.
"He has got all the attributes to be a success in our division and I'm looking forward to seeing him take the initiative as we work together over the course of the coming campaign."
Hogg added: "On training so far, the group as a whole is looking good and all have done well. There has been a real competitive edge to everything we have done and that has been great to see.

"Sam Downey (hernia) and Damien Ketley (knee) have both been back in full training with the group since their respective operations, and both appear to have responded very well.
"New signings Lewis Sirrell and Sam Hart have integrated well and both look like they've been here for years.
"Iain Bennett (assistant manager) arrived back from South Korea last week and has also taken to his new role very well.
"I would be lying if I said we weren't a little frustrated about not being able to play friendly games as of yet. Hopefully in the not too distant future we will know more about moving into phase 3 training and we can get some friendly games played with a view to progressing our season preparations further."
