What happened. Coventry City have signed goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton on a permanent deal after his loan spell, with the fee reportedly a club record £22m.

Rushworth played all 46 league games last season, keeping 17 clean sheets.
Coventry won the Championship to end a 25-year Premier League wait.
He never made a senior Brighton appearance, having six loans in seven years.

“I'm really happy, there's so many emotions that I've got. There's excitement, I can finally relax knowing it's done.”
— Carl Rushworth

Rushworth returns to a club he loved, with manager Frank Lampard praising his impact in their promotion season.
