Coventry City have signed 25-year-old goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton & Hove Albion following his successful loan at the CBS Arena.
The deal is reportedly worth a club record £22m but neither club has made the fee public, nor has the length of his "long-term contract" been revealed.
Rushworth never made a senior appearance for Brighton and experienced six different loans over seven years having signed from hometown club Halifax Town in 2019.
"It's great to have Carl back with us on a permanent basis," said manager Frank Lampard.
"He's a top professional, a great character and he had a huge impact on the team to help us get promoted last season."
