Youth roles
Rudkin was appointed the Academy Manager at Leicester City in June 2003 having previously been a schoolboy in the City youth system himself when he was 16 and working as a youth coach since 1998.[citation needed] After working as a coach on a part-time basis Rudkin took up the full-time post of Head Coach at the then centre of excellence.[citation needed] During that period Leicester produced a number of outstanding talents which have progressed from the Academy to the first team – including Emile Heskey and Matt Piper.[citation needed]
Rudkin holds the UEFA Pro licence and has completed the Academy Director's licence.[citation needed] On 29 August 2007, he jointly took over managerial responsibility of Leicester after Martin Allen left by mutual consent.[2]
Rudkin has since overseen the development of players through the Leicester City youth academy such as Andy King, Joe Mattock, Richard Stearman, Jeffrey Schlupp and Liam Moore.[citation needed] All five having gained international recognition in the form of either a full international cap or an Under-21 international cap.[citation needed]

On 14 December 2014, Rudkin replaced the outgoing Terry Robinson as director of football.[3]
