Enock Mwepu was forced to stop playing football due to a hereditary heart condition.
Mwepu is at an extremely high risk of suffering a potentially fatal cardiac event if he continues to play football.
Mwepu fell ill on the trip to Africa.
After arriving in West Africa, he was unable to train and ended up in the hospital.
In a statement on Twitter, Mwepu said he had "lived his dream by reaching the Premier League", but that "some dreams come to an end".
Mwepu said that he was retiring because of the medical advice he had received.
The versatile player joined the Seagulls on a four-year deal.
He scored three goals in 27 appearances for the club, but did not play in the win overLeicester City.
There's more to come.
