Sparrow joined Brighton in the summer after 11 seasons with Scunthorpe

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt Sparrow says they must not become complacent if they want to remain at the top of League One.

The Seagulls are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run.

The 27-year-old told BBC Sussex: "We need to keep it going and I don't see why we can't be up there all season.

"Teams are going to try and turn us over so we need to keep concentration levels high. We need to keep playing as we are."

The former Scunthorpe player admits he is surprised at how well Brighton have started the season.

"If I'm honest I thought we might be in the play-offs. To be at the top at this stage of the season is unbelievable really," he said.

"It's fantastic at the moment."
