He was promoted to interim first team head coach after Graham Potter left for Chelsea in September 2022, before becoming first team coach under Roberto De Zerbi.

The former Albion skipper enjoyed a playing career across all four top tiers in England, beginning life in the game with local club Gillingham and also representing Norwich City in the Premier League.

With the Seagulls, Crofts had two spells on the south coast either side of his time with the Canaries, turning out for Albion 125 times and found the back of the net on 13 occasions.

He has also represented Wales on the international stage, making 29 caps at senior level.

Having gained a bachelor’s degree in Applied Sports Science from Solent University, Nick then completed his masters in Sports Performance Analysis in 2014.
