# Perry Northeast Brighton Exit Confirmed By Albion

**Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed Perry Northeast will leave his girls’ academy role at the beginning of July, ending a spell with the club that began in 2019.**

The update gives Albion a clear summer change inside their female pathway, with Northeast having served as girls’ academy manager during a period of growing focus on youth development across the women’s game.

Brighton’s official latest-news feed described the move as [Perry Northeast leaving the girls’ academy](https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/), noting that he has been with Albion since 2019 and that his departure will come at the beginning of July.

## Northeast Departure Creates Academy Change

This is not a first-team transfer story, but it still matters for Albion’s structure. Academy leadership shapes recruitment, coaching standards and the route from promising age-group players into senior football.

For Brighton Women, who have worked to build a stronger pipeline beneath the first team, the next appointment will be important. The club need continuity for players already in the pathway, while also keeping a clear identity in an increasingly competitive academy landscape.

Northeast’s exit also lands during a wider summer reset across Albion. With the men’s and women’s programmes both preparing for 2026/27, off-pitch appointments can quietly carry real weight.

Brighton have not yet confirmed a successor, so the next development to watch is how quickly Albion move to set the academy leadership for the new season.
