Brighton have pushed Gordon Greer’s end-of-season loan review to the top of their official club feed, placing fresh attention on a development pathway that now matters even more before European football returns.
Brighton’s site lists Greer as Albion’s pathway development manager and frames the update around one simple question: how did the club’s loan group look across the 2025/26 campaign?
For Brighton, this is not a minor academy housekeeping note.
The Seagulls have built a recruitment model around buying early, developing aggressively and giving young players carefully chosen senior minutes before deciding whether they can serve the first team or strengthen the balance sheet.
Greer Review Highlights Brighton Pathway Focus
That makes Greer’s review a useful marker before pre-season.
Fabian Hurzeler’s squad is already being reshaped around European commitments, new arrivals and the need for reliable depth. The loan department now sits directly inside that conversation.
Albion have also published Hurzeler’s own season review, with the head coach reflecting on a 2025/26 campaign that delivered European football for only the second time in the club’s history.
That context matters because Brighton’s Conference League dates have already created an early squad-readiness deadline.
The next step is the key one: deciding which returning players can force their way into Hurzeler’s summer plans, which need another loan, and which may now carry market value.
Greer’s review gives Brighton supporters the first proper signpost.
