Carl Andrew Rushworth (born 2 July 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Swansea City, on loan from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.

Club career[edit]

Rushworth started his career with Huddersfield Town before being released at 16; he subsequently joined the academy of FC Halifax Town, before being signed by Brighton & Hove Albion in 2019.[2] He signed for Worthing on a season-long loan in August 2019.[3] He made 30 appearances in all competitions for the seventh tier side.[4]

He signed a new three-year contract with Brighton in July 2020.[5]

Rushworth moved on a season-long loan to League Two side Walsall in July 2021.[6][7] He made his debut for the club on 7 August 2021 in the 1–0 away loss at Tranmere on the opening game of the 2021–22 season in what was also his Football League debut.[8] On 5 January 2022, whilst on loan at Walsall, Rushworth signed a new contract with Brighton, committing to the club until 2025.[9]

On 8 July 2022, Rushworth joined Lincoln City of League One on a season-long loan deal.[10][11] He made his Lincoln debut on the opening day of the season against Exeter City.[12]

He signed on loan for Championship outfit Swansea City on 31 July 2023 for the 2023–24 season.[13][14] He made his debut five days later, denying a late Ivan Šunjić winner with a superb save in the 1–1 home draw against Birmingham City.[15] In Rushworth's second Championship game for the Swans, he scored an own goal after the ball rebounded off the crossbar into him, putting West Bromwich Albion back ahead in the eventual 3–2 away loss.[16]

International career[edit]

In November 2019, Rushworth earned his first international call up when he was selected in Paul Simpson's squad for England U19's three UEFA European U19 Championship qualifiers against Luxembourg, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, although he did not play.[17]

He was part of the England U20 squads in October and November 2020, but did not play.[18][19]

On 5 October 2021, Rushworth received his first call up to the England U21s as a replacement for Josh Griffiths.[20] He was recalled in March 2022 for 2023 European under-21 Championship qualifying matches against Andorra and Albania.[21]

On 10 June 2023, Rushworth made his England U21 debut during a 2–0 defeat to Japan at St. George's Park.[22]

On 14 June 2023, Rushworth was included in the England squad for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship;[23] a tournament the Young Lions ultimately went on to win.[24]
