Dan Ashworth has resigned as Brighton technical director to take a similar role at another Premier League club, according to Sky Sports.

In December, Newcastle were given permission to speak to Ashworth by Brighton.

The Magpies' new owners were interested in appointing the 50-year-old as the club's sporting director.

Ashworth has now stepped down from his role with the Seagulls and begins an extended period of gardening leave, after which he will be able to take up a new position elsewhere.

Former Everton and Rangers player and Scotland international David Weir becomes the club's acting technical director with immediate effect, having recently been promoted to assistant technical director.
