As expected, Rami Shaaban has signed a permanent deal with English Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion, which will keep him at the club till the end of the season.

Rami Shaaban had told EP days ago that he would put pen to paper for the Seagulls. His two games with the club had been on a non-contract basis, and he impressed the staff and fans enough in the two victories to warrant a deal.

It is however only a short contract, which will see him at the club till the close of the season, and will give him the chance to take part in the remaining minimum of 11 league games. Shaaban has set his sights at playing football at a higher level however, and sees this as a possible stepping stone to greater things to come.
