Jordan Rhodes

Jordan Rhodes set a Huddersfield Town club record for most league goals in a season with 36 in 2011–12, earning him the title of top scorer in England that year and the League One Player of the Year Award. Rhodes signed his first professional contract with Ipswich Town in 2007, scoring his first league goal in 2008. Following initial loan spells at Oxford United, Rochdale, and Brentford, where he scored his first hat-trick in 2009 and was recognized as PFA League Two Fans’ Player of the Month in March 2009 and PFA League Two Fans’ Player of the Year, he joined Huddersfield Town in July 2009. During his impactful first spell, Rhodes scored 73 goals in 124 league games, including becoming the first Huddersfield player since the 1920s to score back-to-back hat-tricks in 2011, and equalling the club record with five goals in a single match in 2012.

This placed him as the third-highest goalscorer in the past two decades, behind only Billy Sharp and Harry Kane. Following his retirement from the pitch, Rhodes immediately transitioned into a vital management role, appointed as the Loans Manager at his former club, Blackburn Rovers, in 2025, further solidifying his enduring involvement in professional football.
