Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder manager Oscar Garcia believes that midfielder Rohan Ince has earned his new deal with the club.

Ince has extended his stay at the Amex Stadium until 2016, and Garcia has revealed that he has been impressed with the 21-year-old's professionalism since he joined the club from Chelsea in the summer.

The 40-year-old told the club's official website: "Rohan has earned this contract with the way that he has trained and played ever since I came to the club.

"It is nice for the club to reward his hard work and professionalism."

Ince has made 16 appearances for the Championship outfit during the current campaign.
