I wouldn't rule out a League 1 move either. For all that he came on well at Motherwell, they'd be seen as the equivalent of a League 2 team in England. If he got a loan (or permanent move) to one of the stronger League 1 teams that would actually be potentially OK for him for now.

Yeah don't see Brighton looking at his time in the SPL and thinking this lad can be our back up cover at LB. Still no word on his contract and Brighton might have an option to extend but wouldn't be surprised to see him at a top League One club or bottom half Championship team next season.

Players have moved from Hibs,Aberdeen and Hearts in recent seasons to Serie A and all 3 have worked out well. 

Maybe ye are right and they have this arrogant attitude to Scottish football (it’s England at the end of the day) but it’s definitely higher then League 2 standard. 

As for Furlong he’s had a very productive loan spell. Clearly a talented player would be disappointed if Brighton didn’t renew his contract.

Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen would be different to Motherwell though. The SPL has large differences in standard within the division - the two Glasgow teams would be lower end Premier League/top end Championship level, Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen (when achieving at the level they should be) are the equivalent of top half League 1 teams. The rest are League 2 standard and rely on away gates from the five bigger teams to even be at that standard year on year.

Furlong having a decent couple of months at Motherwell is very different to the likes of Aaron Hickey or Josh Doig standing out for multiple seasons at Hearts and Hibs. Not that he can't necessarily get there, but he'll have to do more than have a half season loan at a League 2 standard team to achieve it.

Motherwell have quite easily the 3rd best record in the SPL since the two Irish lads joined them in January. It was Furlong's first foray into senior football and he looks quite capable of stepping up another level next season, a Championship loan is well withhin reach assuming BHA dont keep him around as cover.

As per Rep of Ireland Player Tracker (and as predicted by me), James Furlong has reportedly been rewarded with a new contract at Brighton following his excellent loan spell at Motherwell. I wonder what plans they have for him this season.

More so they've extended his contract, likely a clause, going by the Brighton forum.

New 2 year contract - fair play, I watched quite a bit of him at Motherwell and was very impressed with his first foray into senior football. Interesting to see whether he is loaned out again or kept around as cover for the first part of the season.

They don't want him jumping the fence.


They offered James a new improved contract and he celebrated with a nice pint of Guineas.and stakes.

Permanent move to Hull for Furlong, three year deal plus a year's option. Seems like a very good move for him.

Yep that sounds good. If he puts a good run together he'll be in line for a senior call up before long.

He's an orthodox LB/LWB, rather than a converted winger (McClean & O'Dowda) or attacking-mid (Manning), which we could really do with. Hopefully he comes good.

Delighted for him, the Irish contingent @ Hull looking good - Christie, McLoughlin, Vaughan, Connolly and now Furlong. Well deserved move for the lad after an excellent loan spell at Motherwell. With McClean and Stevens likely to bow out soon enough, this lad can stake a claim for that LB/LWB berth. Lovely left foot also, can take a good set piece.

Especially if we've got a few friendlies between the qualifiers and NL. If we don't make the playoffs we should have at least five friendlies starting with NZ.

It also puts him at a higher level than Roughan when it comes to the U21s. Plus he'll be playing LB whereas Roughan is playing LCB this season.

That's assuming he's playing though. Ruben Vinagre is the current Hull left back and has a fair bit of EPL experience under his belt as well as playing for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. I'd expect Furlong to be his backup for now.
