Brighton assistant manager Dean White says Kevin McLeod can have a big influence on the Seagulls' season.

The winger was on target again in the 3-2 friendly defeat by Ipswich.

White told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "He's got a great left foot and scored some cracking goals. He's added something to the [left wing] position."

He went on to add: "He'll be a big player for us this year as long as he does the defensive bit as well - which he is doing."
