Lorenz joined Brighton five years ago as a young player and has since made steady progress through the ranks. In January, he made his debut in the Premier League 2, a competition featuring the top young players in the country.

Before joining Brighton's main team, Lorenz had a brief loan spell with non-league club Havant & Waterlooville at the end of last season. This experience will likely help him develop his skills further.

As he begins the new season, Lorenz will play for Brighton's under-21 team, where he will continue to work on his game and gain valuable experience.
