Celtic made sure they secured a record transfer for O’Riley when he joined Brighton, but things haven’t gone to plan.
The 24-year-old’s debut for the South Coast club couldn’t have gone any worse because, inside ten minutes against Crawley Town in the League Cup, he was injured and out for months.

But the Brighton boss sees this as an ‘opportunity’ for someone like O’Riley and hailed his ‘energy’ in training amid this period of ‘frustration’ for the player, as well as Rutter’s injury.
“Yeah, for sure (Rutter was a big part of Brighton’s team and a fan favourite),” responded Hurzeler. “That’s why I see more like an opportunity and a chance because we were always able to replace the players who are injured.
“Now, it’s another chance for Gruda and another chance for Matt O’Riley. Another chance for Cashin. Lewis (Dunk) is coming back (following Adam Webster’s injury), so I see it more as an opportunity. I will never complain about injuries.
