“After a difficult summer for George, he’s bounced back and picked up where he left off last season. He’s always developing and it’s great have secure his services for another year.”
The 20-year-old returned for pre-season training ahead of Albion’s debut season in the Premier League 2 Division 1, but just weeks later had to undergo heart surgery after abnormal heartbeat patterns were discovered.
Cox returned after a successful operation and has since made seven league appearances and played twice in the Checkatrade Trophy, providing two assists to help the Seagulls end 2018 in third position in the table.
