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.[7] During that same season, Adingra made his first Premier League start on 16 September in a 3–1 victory over Manchester United in which he recorded an assist.[8]

Upon returning to Brighton after winning the 2023 AFCON title, Adingra would score a brace in a 5–0 win against Sheffield United on 18 February 2024.[9]
