We may now be deep into the Premier League’s off-season, with a summer of transfer business slowly clicking into gear, but this week the attention of Brighton & Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom and many of his players will be on Royal Ascot. One of the showpiece occasions of the British sporting summer shines a light on the football club’s affinity with horse racing.

Brighton & Hove Albion's James Milner has signed a one-year contract extension with the club. The Athletic reported in May that the 39-year-old was in talks with Brighton to extend his contract, which was set to expire this summer. Milner only played four games in the 2024-25 season due to a thigh issue that sidelined him for the majority of the campaign. "I'm really pleased we will have James with us again this season," Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said.
