Hull City have signed goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton & Hove Albion on a season-long loan.

It is the fourth loan spell of the 23-year-old's career, having made 48 league and cup appearances for Swansea City last season.

The former England Under-21 international previously spent time with Walsall and Lincoln City, keeping 20 clean sheets in 46 games for the Imps.

"I didn’t know if I was going out on loan or staying. I want to play and knowing there was interest and how the team plays in possession, it will favour me and my attributes," Rushworth told the Hull website.

"My in-possession game is one of my strengths, along with my shot-stopping. The manager wants me to play mixed football – really nice from the back, but also know if there are advantages further up the pitch that playing one ball into the final third is better."

Hull have drawn all three Championship games under boss Tim Walter this season and are away to Leeds United on Saturday.
