Albion are currently in their sixth consecutive season in the top-flight following promotion from the Championship under Chris Hughton in 2017, finishing second behind champions Newcastle.
Having narrowly missed out on promotion the season before, losing to Sheffield Wednesday in the play off semi-finals, the Seagulls went on to have brilliant 2016/2017 campaign, leading the pack for most of the season and featuring an eighteen game unbeaten streak.
The club confirmed promotion on April 17, 2017, with a 2-1 win over Wigan at the Amex Stadium sparking memorable scenes of fans invading the pitch and celebrating with the players and coaching staff.
A winless last three games meant they were piped to the title by the Magpies, finishing on 93 points after winning 28 games, drawing and losing nine games each, scoring 74 goals and conceding 40.
From that promotion squad, only Lewis Dunk and Solly March remain at the club, with the rest of the 27-man-squad either being sold, released or retiring from the beautiful game.
SussexWorld has seen what happened to these players since the left the Amex Stadium.
1. David Stockdale
Brighton's number one for the promotion campaign kept an impressive 20 clean sheets in the 2016/2017 campaign. The keeper then rejected Brighton's offer of a new contract and instead signed for three years with Birmingham City of the Championship the following season. A dip in form lead to a number of loan moves and eventual permanent transfer out of the club to Wycombe, dropping a clanger in the 2022 League One play-off final against Sunderland.

2. Bruno Saltor
The Brighton legend was captain of the side when they got promoted and finished his playing career at the club, moving to a coaching role at the Amex Stadium in 2019. Currently a part of Graham Potter's set-up at Chelsea. Photo: Mike Hewitt
3. Gaetan Bong
The Cameroonian left-back was a regular in the first-half of the 2016-2017 season, before injuries hampered his run in the side.. Bong continued to be the club's first choice left back in the Premier League, but fell out of favour when Graham Potter arrived in 2019. He joined Nottingham Forest in January 2020, where he stayed until June 2022 and is currently without a club. Photo: Daniel L Smith
4. Dale Stephens
Dale Stephens was key performer throughout the 2016-2017, scoring two goals in 37 appearances and signing a four-year-deal as a reward for his efforts. The 33-year-old made 99 appearances for the club in the Premier League before he signed with Burnley in the summer of 2020 and left the club at the end of last season. Also currently without a club.
