Premier League newcomers Coventry City have officially announced the permanent signing of goalkeeper Karl Rushworth from Brighton. The shot-stopper has penned a long-term deal with the Sky Blues.
Last season, Rushworth was on loan at Coventry, where he made 46 Championship appearances and was a pivotal figure in the team's return to England's top flight for the first time in a quarter of a century.
According to British media reports, Brighton will receive a transfer fee of £22.5 million for the 25-year-old goalkeeper.
Rushworth joined the Seagulls from Halifax in 2019 but never made a competitive appearance for them, spending six seasons out on loan at various clubs.
“It’s exciting because I know I’ll be back with the lads. I love being part of Coventry. Now something different awaits us in the Premier League,” commented the goalkeeper after signing his contract.
Coventry will kick off their new Premier League season with a challenging away fixture against champions Arsenal on August 21st.
