Jack Rodwell - Evertons secret weapon
Everton skipper Phil Neville believes that young midfield protege Jack Rodwell can become Everton’s ‘Jack in the box’ next season.
And Neville has backed up his belief by tipping the youngster to possibly reach double figures in his goals tally.
Rodwell scored four times last season – including two long range pile-drivers against Sigma Oloumuc – to add to his debut season strike against Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
But on the club’s pre-season tour of Australia Rodwell has already struck twice in a more advanced midfield role – including another 25-yard special against Brisbane Roar at the weekend – and Neville enthused: “I think we are seeing a different Jack Rodwell now.
“He looks like someone who can go on to score five to ten goals for us this season.
"He looks a goal threat and we are glad he is in our team.
“There are not many around who actually score goals, so they are a vital commodity.
