Mayo has yet to feature for Brighton this season

Brighton defender Kerry Mayo has joined Blue Square Premier side Lewes on a one-month loan deal.

The Rooks' defensive trio of Danny Cullip (hamstring), Chris Breach (shoulder) and Craig Richards are all suffering from injuries.

Mayo signed a one-year contract with the Seagulls this summer after initially being released.

Brighton boss Micky Adams said: "It's a good opportunity for Kerry to get some first-team games under his belt."
