The deal to take Rushworth to Coventry also includes sell-on and buy-back clauses while the final transfer fee could rise to a reported £30m. Rushworth spent the 2025/26 season on loan at the Sky Blues as the shot-stopper played a starring role as Coventry secured a dream return to the Premier League. Rushworth said: “I’m really happy, there’s so many emotions that I’ve got. “I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere at our first home game after 25 years of waiting to play in the Premier League. “I’m looking forward to working with him again and welcoming him back into the group.”
