Rougier eyes move to Brighton

FORMER Trinidad and Tobago football captain Tony Rougier is eyeing a permanent move to English First Division club Brighton.

The 31-year-old utility player saw his stay at fellow Division One team Reading terminated a fortnight ago when the club decided not to renew his contract which was due to expire at the end of June. With lack of playing time during the recent season, Rougier spent two months (February and March) on loan with Brighton, where he scored two goals in their attempt to remain in Division One. The stockily-built Rougier said he was searching for another club. “There is always a possibility of coming back to Brighton but they have to show interest in me. “I did well and I enjoyed my time there but I haven’t spoken to them. I know Brighton are ambitious and I enjoyed playing with the players there,” he said.
