The former England Under-21 goalkeeper, 24, has two years remaining on his current deal on the South Coast.
But with Bart Verbruggen an outstanding No 1 and Jason Steele as an experienced No 2, Rushworth could be sent out for his FIFTH loan.
Rangers are keen to take him on loan for the season – alongside interest from the Championship.

He’s currently under contract until 2027 and had four separate loan spells to date at Walsall, Lincoln, Swansea City and Hully City.

Both men are likely to get chances to impress new boss Russell Martin, who is renowned for his passing style from the back.
Butland too has two years remaining on his current Ibrox deal, having had many highpoints during his time at the club as well as some indifferent displays.
