    Where did you get that from ? 
    He’s been at Brighton forever. 
    Used to be a decent player .

    Peter O'Rourke is reporting this as well.

    Always thought he was a quality player, still only 32

    Very good player set back by dodgy knees

    Dodgy knees. He sounds like a Charlton signing.

    For someone who has not paid enough attention, what about squad registration numbers?

    Part of the commentators always saying his full name club.

    I like him.

    🏥 Injury History at Brighton

    While highly talented, March's final three seasons at Brighton were severely disrupted by successive, long-term knee issues, restricting him to just 24 total appearances during that period.
    • February 2021 – Knee Surgery: Suffered a torn meniscus during a 1-0 away win against Liverpool, forcing him to undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the 2020/21 season (174 days missed).
    • October 2023 – ACL Rupture: Sustained a devastating knee injury against Manchester City. This kept him sidelined for 14 months (430 days), causing him to miss 58 games.
    • April 2025 – Second Knee Injury: Just four months after working his way back, he suffered another major knee setback that required surgery and an additional 11-month layoff.
    • Recent Status: He returned to action in March 2026 but was limited to minor minute cameos for the rest of the season. He is now fully fit and completed a medical with a Premier League club over the summer before his recent link to Charlton Athletic.

    I think standard practice is only two registration windows, both after each transfer window ends. But there is a special process to get approval to replace a player in the 25 man who has a long term injury.

    I would guess we’d be writing to the EFL asking to remove Rob Apter and add Solly March to our 25.

    For some reason I started reading that as if Ali G was saying it.

    Has he improved his penalty taking?

    He definitely fits the bill as a left footed right winger. 

    His fitness is a major concern though. If he was back to a decent level of fitness,  you'd have thought he would have been snapped up by now.

    But then to be fair, with squad number restrictions, clubs have to more careful now about who they sign and register.

    A quality premier league winger very recently and would fill a position where we really need some quality.  The usual 'if" we can keep him fit, I like this a lot.

    He is better than Ouma even with an injury.😄

    Why oh why do they persist with players with an injury history.

    Does that mean we’ve been able to d register someone? 
    Apter or maybe Ouma perhaps

    Apter done his ACL out for the season so they can replace him

    A reminder to everyone that Solly March is one of those players who always has to be referred to by their first and last name

    We’ve de-registered Apter I’m guessing because his injury takes him past January we’re allowed to do so never knew it was a rule

    He was quality, but had a big knee injury. But if he didn't, he would still be in the prem anyway; worth the risk, at 50% even he would be an upgrade on Ali
