West Ham were promoted to the First Division in 1991–92 and Rush made ten appearances, scoring two goals, both against Norwich City in April 1992, as West Ham battled against relegation and ultimately went down into the First Division again. His only appearances in the 1992–93 season against Cosenza and Pisa in the Anglo-Italian Cup in December 1992 as manager Billy Bonds preferred experience to youth in a successful bid to get West Ham promoted again.

He was recalled to West Ham in March and started the final nine games of the season, scoring in the first against Ipswich Town with a strike from 25 yards.
