Aug 4 - Coventry City have signed goalkeeper Carl Rushworth on a long-term contract from Brighton & Hove Albion following a successful loan spell last season, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

• Financial details were not disclosed, although British media reported tht Coventry paid around 22.5 million pounds ($30.26 million) for the 25-year-old.
• Rushworth joined Brighton from Halifax Town in 2019 but never made a senior appearance, spending his seven years at the club on loan at six teams.
• "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," he said in a statement.
• "I'm excited to have this new challenge in the Premier League and to be able to call this place home is a big thing I've been looking forward to."
