Coventry City<\/a> have signed 25-year-old goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a> following his successful loan at the CBS Arena. <\/p>\n

The deal is reportedly worth a club record \u00a322m but neither club has made the fee public, nor has the length of his “long-term contract” been revealed.<\/p>\n

Rushworth played in all 46 of Coventry’s league games last season, keeping 17 clean sheets as they won the Championship to end their 25-year wait to return to the Premier League.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m really happy, there’s so many emotions that I’ve got,” said Rushworth.<\/p>\n

“There’s excitement, I can finally relax knowing it’s done and that I’m back with the boys and at a club I loved being at.”<\/p>\n

Rushworth never made a senior appearance for Brighton<\/a> and experienced six different loans over seven years having signed from hometown club Halifax Town in 2019.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to have Carl back with us on a permanent basis,” said manager Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n

“He’s a top professional, a great character and he had a huge impact on the team to help us get promoted last season.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coventry City have signed 25-year-old goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton & Hove Albion following his successful loan at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":727255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-727254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=727254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/727255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=727254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=727254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=727254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
