Oscar reveals his big surprise about giving Solly his Albion debut

The Hailsham wideman emerged in the Seagulls’ first team after Oscar took charge in the summer of 2013.

He scored a brilliant goal against Norwich City in pre-season and was handed a debut early in the season.

March had signed from Lewes under boss Guy Poyet, who put him on the bench in the 2012-13 season without giving him a debut.

Oscar told The Argus: “It surprised me a lot that he hadn’t already played with the first team because he had qualities we did not have in the squad.

“One against one, powerful with the ball under control, a very good shot and he could play in various positions. And also his great team spirit.”

March made brief appearances in the first three home league games of 2013-14, scored in an FA Cup tie at Port Vale and made a total of 28 appearances in Oscar’s one season at the club.

He will officially part company with the Seagulls when his contract expires this summer and is set for a new challenge elsewhere.

Oscar, meanwhile, has most recently been in charge of Ajax’s senior team as they scrambled their way into the Conference League via play-offs.

He is being linked with a return to their B team or the top role at Anderlecht.
