Carl Rushworth wants to leave Brighton & Hove Albion unless his chances of game time improve.
The goalkeeper’s future is set to reach a crunch point this summer after six years at the club without making a first team appearance.
Rushworth, under contract at Brighton until 2027, was on the bench for 12 Premier League matches in succession from January as cover for first choice Bart Verbruggen during Jason Steele’s recovery from shoulder surgery.

Steele, 34, returned as a substitute for last Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Brentford following an outing in the under-21s. That has brought to a head the prospect of Rushworth getting minutes under head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
The 23-year-old is not interested in spending a fifth season in succession out on loan to a league club since joining Brighton from Halifax Town in 2019.
He wants to progress his career by settling his future after featuring in England junior squads at under-19 and under-20 level and playing the second half of a 2-0 friendly defeat for England under-21s against Japan in 2023.
Rushworth has gained experience in more than 130 games on season-long loans to Walsall in League Two (2021-22), Lincoln in League One (2022-23) and Swansea in the Championship (2023-24). He spent the first half of the current campaign on loan to Hull City in the second tier.
Steele was due for surgery when Brighton recalled Rushworth during the January transfer window after injuries limited him to three appearances for Hull.
Dutch international Verbruggen, 22, is poised to make his 32nd league appearance out of 34 this season in tomorrow’s home match against West Ham.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The U.S. men’s national team wasn’t immune to the negativity building up around the team — both from the on-field results and the off-field drama.For that reason, the Concacaf Gold Cup group opener against Trinidad and Tobago carried more pressure than it might have otherwise. And it’s why the U.S.’s dominant 5-0 win also felt that much sweeter. It allowed the Americans to enjoy some smiles and a bit of respite from the pressure – and let them avoid dropping five straight matches for the first time since 2007.AdvertisementAs manager Mauricio Pochettino said, it “cut the negative results” and gave the U.S. a chance to start building something with the 2026 World Cup on home soil now less than a year away.“A difficult match, especially given the negative things that had happened in recent weeks,” Pochettino said.
