Rhodes Hoping for Pre-Season Return Thursday, 7th May 2009 08:46
Striker Jordan Rhodes says he will be fit for pre-season training having been sidelined for the final weeks of 2008/09 with a broken metatarsal. The injury meant that the Rhodes missed out on closing weeks of loan club Brentford s League Two championship-winning campaign.
The 19-year-old says he is confident he will be OK to get back into action when the Town squad return to Playford Road after their summer break: I m on the mend. I should start walking in a few days, then hopefully be fit for pre-season.
The striker, named the PFA Fans League Two Player of the Season, says the Blues new manager has emphasised that hard work will be the key to winning a place in his side: Roy Keane has told us if we work hard in training then he ll give us the rewards we deserve.â€
