Brighton shot stopper Carl Rushworth believes that a season at Swansea City is exactly what he needed.

The keeper recently picked up two honors at the Championship club's end-of-term awards.

He has impressed hugely in the second division and will be hoping to fight for a Brighton start next season.

Rushworth said: “I have developed massively.

“I think the change from the beginning of the season to now has been night and day really, it's completely different.

“There is so much I have learned.

“That's one of the most exciting things I am going to take away from this loan, as well as working with the gaffer and with Marge every day.

“The lads have been great and it has just been such a positive experience for me, one that I am going to cherish.

“I have loved it. Since the new gaffer came in, it is so similar to how it is at Brighton and I am just feeding off that."
