Brighton talent Carl Rushworth has signed a new contract with the Premier League club.

The 22-year-old has renewed his contract to take him to 2027, while the club can extend the deal by one year.

In addition to extending, Rushworth has also been sent out on loan by boss Roberto De Zerbi.

He will be playing for Swansea for the entire campaign, where he will compete for a starting spot.

Swans shot stopper Steven Benda recently suffered a knee ligament injury, which opened up a spot in their squad.

Brighton technical director David Weir said: "Carl has improved year-on-year with loans in non-league, League Two and League One.

"Now he is making another step up which is a really exciting prospect for him – we're looking forward to seeing how he progresses over the next year with Swansea."
