Solly March, fit to play in the Premier League, says he is ready to return to the top flight. The Brighton winger is available as a free agent, almost two months into the new season, after leaving the Amex when his contract expired this summer.
March made the claim in an interview with The Sun, reported by The Argus, in which he also discussed his recovery from a serious knee injury and a recent trial at another top-flight club.

According to The Sun, as quoted by The Argus report, March said: “My knee is happy and strong, there’s no swelling. I can do all the things that I need to do and very well.”
He also revealed he had been assessed by a Premier League club. According to the same report, March said: “I had a medical at a Premier League club and it was all good but for various reasons nothing happened from it.” The club involved was not named, and the move did not go ahead.
March left no doubt about his own belief in his ability. “I still believe I can play in the Premier League, I really do,” he said, in the interview reported by The Argus.
Squad Impact & Tactical Context
The comments carry extra weight given how March’s Brighton career ended. He made his 300th and final appearance for the Albion in the 3-0 defeat by Manchester United, before Brighton let him go once his contract expired this summer.
March’s fitness update also matters because of what he has already overcome. He suffered a serious knee injury in a match at Manchester City almost three years ago and fought his way back to full fitness, only to leave the club without a new deal this year. We covered that recovery in our earlier return piece, published shortly after his Albion exit.
After leaving Brighton, March has kept himself ready for a recall. He has trained at Albion’s base in Lancing and overseas, with pictures of his work posted on social media. Crystal Palace were linked with interest in him during the summer, as we reported in the Palace link story, though no move followed. Our summer round-up from July also traced his situation before his Brighton contract ran out.
What Happens Next / Upcoming Timeline
Nothing concrete has changed since his interview. Solly March fit to play, in his own words, is how things stand, and he continues to train while he waits for an opportunity.
Almost two months into the season, he remains without a club. His next appearance, for any side, is not yet known.
