City announced today that we have signing Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper, Carl Rushworth on a season long loan. The 21-year-old stopper is highly rated by the Premier League having been given a new long term contract last season. He impressed last season on loan with League Two side, Walsall and earnt a callup to the England U21 side.

Mark Kennedy said: “We are absolutely delighted that Carl has chosen us ahead of a host of League One clubs for this loan. He is an outstanding goalkeeper, with all the attributes to play at the very highest level, and had a really impressive first loan in the EFL last season.

“We have tracked Carl and made Brighton aware of our interest in him for several months, so we are delighted that everything has now been agreed so that Carl can join the group from Monday.

“In Sam and Jordan we have two really talented young goalkeepers of our own and we remain committed to their continued individual long-term development.”
