'The worst kept secret in Coventry is finally out'

[Getty Images] [BBC] The worst kept secret in Coventry is finally out and it's a huge one. Carl Rushworth is back in Sky Blue for the foreseeable, and there's a real sense of relief around the club. His performances in the Championship last season weren't just impressive; they were a level above almost every other goalkeeper in the division. As Coventry step into the Premier League, his presence becomes even more essential. He will be called upon often, and he has already shown he can handle that responsibility. There was a moment earlier in the summer when it felt like Coventry might pivot to a cheaper alternative. Had they done so, it would have sparked a year of regret and a fanbase full of what‑ifs. Instead, they've backed the goalkeeper they trust and the one supporters already adore. The reported £22m fee, a club‑record outlay, is undeniably steep. But that's the English market, inflated further by big‑money moves like Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers earlier in the window. What Coventry have secured is a goalkeeper with huge potential, genuine resale value, and a connection with supporters that can't be manufactured. You can be sure chairman Doug King factored all of that into the decision. Attention now turns to the rest of the squad. More additions feel likely before the window shuts, and as the EFL season kicks into gear, further departures seem inevitable too.
