Rushden's first presenting role was BBC London 94.9's breakfast show from December 2006 to March 2008. He presented the Saturday morning Sky Sports show Soccer AM alongside Helen Chamberlain from August 2008 until 2015.[1] He has a weekly Sunday show with Barry Glendenning on Talksport and has occasionally worked for BBC Radio 5 Live. He was a regular substitute presenter for James Richardson on Football Weekly, before becoming its main host in 2017 after Richardson quit to launch rival The Totally Football Show.[2]
Rushden explains that the show "ranges from proper analysis of what has happened on the pitch in the UK and around Europe, to commentary about serious issues off it, balanced with some complete nonsense."[3] He mentioned on an episode of Soccer AM that he had Irish ancestry through his grandparents. Rushden is a lifelong fan of Cambridge United F.C.[4]
In 2021, Rushden signed with Australian UEFA competitions broadcaster Stan Sport to host their football coverage.[5]
Rushden once had his Renault Clio car repaired by darts player James Wade.[6]
