Brighton have signed left-back Adam Chicksen from MK Dons.

The Championship club will pay an undisclosed compensation fee for the 21-year-old, who made 42 appearances for the Dons last season.

Chicksen has signed a three-year contract and will join his new team-mates on the pre-season trip to Spain.

His arrival follows this week's permanent deal for former England centre-half Matthew Upson.
