Bong on new deal
Bong spoke to Seagulls.co.uk on his new deal: “I’ve known this club for many years now and I’m really glad I’ve signed this contract.
“Thanks to the club and the fans, because I was thinking about a new challenge, I had some very good opportunities, but I made the decision to stay here because it’s my home.
“We started to talk at the beginning of the season, we took time to find the right deal, but at the same time I’ve been very focused because we’ve had a job to do.
