Jack Christian Rodwell (born 11 March 1991 in Southport, England) is an English footballer currently playing for Everton. A midfielder, Rodwell has represented his country at Under-16, Under-17, Under-19 and Under 21 levels.

Club career

An Everton supporter as a child,[2] Rodwell joined the club's youth system at the age of seven, making his Under-18s debut at 14 and his debut for Everton's reserve team at the age of 15. Rodwell then broke a record on his senior debut becoming the youngest player to represent Everton in Europe when he came on as a substitute against Dutch team AZ at the age of 16 years and 284 days.[3]

In March 2008, he appeared as a substitute on his Premier League debut – before also featuring as a replacement in the final game of the season, replacing Tim Cahill in a 1–0 victory over Sunderland,[4] and signed his first professional contract with Everton on 17 March 2008.[5] He made his first professional start against Blackburn Rovers on 16 August 2008, playing the full 90 minutes.[6] Rodwell scored his first senior goal for Everton in the FA Cup against Aston Villa in February 2009.[7] That same month, he signed a 5-year contract with Everton, which expires in 2014.[8]

At the beginning of the 2009–10 season, Rodwell earned his first start in European competition in a Europa League game against Czech football club SK Sigma Olomouc. Rodwell marked the occasion by scoring two long-range goals, helping Everton to a 4–0 win.[9] He scored his first Premier League goal in Everton's 3–1 win against Manchester United.[3] At the end of the season Rodwell signed a five-year contract extension with Everton.[10]

Although Rodwell is primarily deployed as a defensive midfielder, he was regarded as having the potential to become a top centre back early in his professional career.[11][12][13] During the second half of the 2009–10 season, Rodwell became regularly employed in more attacking midfield positions.[14]

International career

In December 2006, Rodwell captained the England Under-16 side to Victory Shield glory, following a 2–1 victory over Scotland.[15] Four months later he struck the first winning goal at Wembley Stadium for England in a 1–0 win over Spain.[16] On 25 March 2008, Rodwell scored England U17's only goal as they drew 1–1 with France in a 2008 UEFA European U17 Football Championship qualifier.[17]

In March 2009, Rodwell was called up to the England U21 squad.[18] He earned his first U21 cap against France[19] and scored his first goal for the squad on 8 June 2009 against Azerbaijan.[20] Rodwell earned his first start at U21 level during the 2009 European Championship in a match against Germany, scoring a goal and earning praise for his all-around performance in a defensive midfield role.[21][22][23]

Personal life

Rodwell is the nephew of the former Blackpool winger, Tony Rodwell.[24]
