A biography for Jack Rodwellhasn’t been written yet.
“I am happy at Everton, and I can't do anything else other than concentrate on my own game.”
“To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.”
“I changed my car completely - I was in a sports car and changed to a Jeep, which is more stable for the back and doesn't put too much stress on it.”
“The player I look up to is Rio Ferdinand. I have always played at the back, and I've always tried to base my game on his.”
“I do believe I'm a Premier League player, and I do believe I'm an England international when I'm fit and on form.”
“I'm not saying I'm never going to get injured again; that's just impossible.”
“I've had my family around me all the time, and that's been a great help.”
“I've had injuries that have hampered my career but that is part and parcel of being a footballer. You just have to bounce back and remain focused.”
“England Under 16, Under 17, Under 18, I played centre-half. But back then, David Moyes thought it was difficult to throw a 16-year-old in there. There was a big hype around me. He wanted me to fulfil my potential; he wanted to get me in as early as possible.”
“I was at Everton from the age seven. Being there 14 years meant any move was going to be big.”
“Every time I step on to the pitch, I give my all.”
“Obviously, the Champions League and Premier League are the biggies, and obviously, if you could win any, it would be one of those two.”
“I played in the Under 18s when I was 14, then the reserves at 15, and then the first team.”
“My ambitions are just to keep working hard and, when I do get on, to make an impression.”
“I never really supported anyone when I was younger, but I'm an Evertonian now.”
“Any player at City is prepared to play anywhere, and I'm no different.”
“I have a lot of experience at Under-21 level, so hopefully that can show in my performances.”
“Midfield, defence - I have even played out wide for Everton, so I will do a job anywhere and give 100 percent.”
“Blackburn is a club which has won the Premier League before, and it doesn't get bigger or better than that.”
“It is effectively a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be involved, and the chance to win an Olympic medal would be amazing.”
