Jordan Luke Rhodes is a footballer who plays for Blackburn Rovers as a striker.
He started his career at Ipswich Town and after loan spells at Oxford United, Rochdale and Brentford he joined Huddersfield Town. In the 2011–12 season, he was the top scorer in England with 36 league goals, breaking Huddersfield's club record for most league goals scored in a season.
In August 2012, he became English football's most expensive player outside the top flight when he joined Blackburn Rovers for £8,000,000, equalling Blackburn's record transfer fee.
Although born in England, Rhodes opted to play for Scotland, becoming eligible through having attended school in Scotland while his father Andy Rhodes played as a goalkeeper for Scottish football clubs.
Rhodes has represented Scotland at both U-21 level and as a full international.
