“There were talks between the clubs and I felt really privileged, because that at the start of January means a club really wants you.”
Flower highlighted his qualities and vowed to contribute goals for Gateshead in their quest for promotion to League Two.
"I'm quite direct, I'm quick and I love being in the box to score - the main goal is to score goals for the team."
Brighton will be keeping close tabs on Flower during his time with Gateshead.
