Carl Rushworth’s Ambitions: From Swansea to Premier League and England – BBC Sport Wales
Carl Rushworth, the talented goalkeeper on loan at Swansea City, is set to return to parent club Brighton & Hove Albion next week with his sights firmly set on a future in the Premier League and potentially even the England national team.
The 22-year-old shot-stopper has been in impressive form for Swansea this season, keeping 10 clean sheets in what has been a challenging campaign for the Welsh side. Rushworth, who has previously had loan spells at Walsall and Lincoln City, is determined to make his mark at the highest level of English football.
After completing his loan spell at Swansea, Rushworth will train with Brighton next week in the hopes of catching the eye of Seagulls boss Roberto de Zerbi. Despite his uncertain future, Rushworth remains focused on his long-term goals of playing in the Premier League and representing his country.
Rushworth’s journey to this point has been a remarkable one, having been released by Huddersfield Town at under-16 level before eventually finding his way to Brighton. His hard work and determination have paid off, with his performances at Swansea earning him praise and recognition.
With competition for places at Brighton fierce, Rushworth knows he will have to continue to impress in order to secure a spot in the first team. However, his time at Swansea has given him the confidence and belief that he has what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
While an England call-up this summer may be a long shot, Rushworth remains optimistic about his future prospects. With the support of his coaches and teammates, he is determined to continue his development and push himself to reach his ultimate goals of playing in the Premier League and representing his country on the international stage.
