Brighton manager Hyypia turns to McCourt to add creativity

Brighton snapped up Northern Ireland winger Paddy McCourt on a free transfer in time for him to sit on the bench for Tuesday’s 2-0 Championship win at Leeds, and Sami Hyypia believes the 30-year-old Derryman has a lot to offer.

“Paddy is a player who sees the right passes, at the right time, and I hope he can help us in terms of creativity going forward and to help make some chances for us.”
