Simon Adingra (born 1 January 2002) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion and the Ivory Coast national team.[1]
A former player of Right to Dream Academy, Adingra joined Danish club Nordsjælland in January 2020.[2] He made his professional debut on 18 April 2021 in a 2–2 league draw against Copenhagen. He replaced Ivan Mesík at the 68th minute of the game and went on to score his team's second goal.[3]
On 24 June 2022, Adingra transferred to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, signing a four-year contract.[4] Ten days later, Adingra joined Brighton's Belgian sister club Union SG on loan for the 2022–23 season.[5]
Adingra made his Brighton debut as a substitute in the opening game of the 2023–24 season on 12 August. He scored the Seagulls' third goal in an eventual 4–1 home win over newly promoted Luton Town.[6] During that same season, Adingra made his first Premier League start on September 16 in a 3–1 victory over Manchester United in which he recorded an assist.[7]
In March 2023, Adingra received his first call-up to the Ivory Coast senior national team for two Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Comoros.[8]
