Hinshelwood made his debut in the final game of last season at Aston Villa, coming on as a sub for Deniz Undav. He was given his first start, also against Villa, in September.
He scored the first goal of his senior career in a 2–1 home victory against Brentford in December, followed by a second, against Tottenham Hotspur, in the same month.
He grabbed his third goal in the joyous 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday 3 February.
But a week later he was missing for the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, having suffered a stress fracture of the foot, requiring surgery.
Brighton and Hove Albion have agreed a new four-year deal with 18-year-old midfielder Jack Hinshelwood.
The youngster, who turns 19 on Friday (11 April), signed a three-year professional contract with the club a year ago when he turned 18.
His previous contract lasted until 2026 while his new deal runs until June 2028, Albion said today (Wednesday 9 April).
The club said: “The versatile 18-year-old joined us aged eight and has made 17 first-team appearances this season.”
He was expected to be out for three months although his recovery could take until the end of the season.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: “I am very happy for Jack and for his family. He has shown what a top player he is and he deserves this new contract.
“We miss him a lot and are look forward to having him back, fit and ready to play.”
Technical director David Weir said: “Jack is a role model and his journey is an inspiring one for all the players in our academy.
