The Seagulls have confirmed board changes for the end of the 2025/26 season.

A statement on the Brighton and Hove Albion website reads: "Brighton & Hove Albion’s long‑serving non-executive directors Ray Bloom and Peter Godfrey will retire from the club’s main board at the end of the 2025/26 season.

"Robert Comer and Adam Franks, also both long-serving non-executive directors of the club, will become non-executive vice-chairs on 1 June 2026.

"In other changes, the club is pleased to announce that Carina Bauer, currently chair of the club’s Foundation and CEO of Brighton-based international travel event and exhibition business IMEX, will join the club’s board as a non-executive director (subject to regulatory approval)."

Ray Bloom has served Brighton as a director for 42 years, the longest board tenure in the club’s history. This includes a brief period away in the mid‑1990s.

Peter Godfrey was a key driver of the American Express Stadium naming rights deal.

He also assisted with recent innovations such as The Terrace.

Albion Chairman Tony Bloom also paid tribute to both board members.
