About this listen

Meet Carl Rushworth – Coventry City's record-breaking goalkeeper who's making history right now at the CBS Arena.

Released by Huddersfield Town at just 16 years old, Carl could have given up on his dream. Instead, he worked his way up from non-league football all the way to becoming a European champion and one of the Championship's best goalkeepers.

In this episode, discover:

  • How Carl bounced back from rejection to sign for Brighton & Hove Albion
  • His journey through the football leagues – from the seventh tier to the Championship
  • Winning the European U21 Championship with England in 2023
  • His incredible loan spells at Walsall, Lincoln City, and Swansea City
  • Breaking Coventry City's all-time record by going 613 minutes without conceding a goal!
  • Why England manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly watching him

Carl's story proves that setbacks don't have to be the end – with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

Perfect for young Sky Blues learning about today's team, and anyone who loves an inspiring comeback story.
