The 30-year-old premier league defender and Cameroon international pleaded guilty to a single offence of speeding, the court service said.

A second charge of failing to identify a driver was withdrawn.

His driving licence was endorsed with three points.

Bong signed for the Seagulls in 2015 and has made 32 premier league appearances for them.
