A FORMER Premier League ace has rolled credits on his 18-year career.
But the former striker made a swift return to football by immediately reuniting with one of the clubs he played for.
That is none other than Jordan Rhodes, who called time on his playing days earlier today.
Rhodes, 35, announced his decision to hang up his boots after a year with Blackpool.
According to the BBC, the former Scotland international was then immediately hired by Blackburn Rovers who gave him an unusual role.
The former centre-forward was appointed as the Rovers‘ new loans manager.
This comes after Rhodes completed a loan of his own at Mansfield Town where he spent the second half of last season.
The English-born Scot’s senior career kicked off in 2007 at Ipswich Town following a two-year stint in the Tractor Boys’ youth ranks.
The former forward underwent loan stints at Oxford United, Rochdale and Brentford during his two-year stint at Ipswich.
Rhodes then played for Huddersfield and Blackburn before moving to Middlesbrough in 2016 and going on to amass six Premier League appearances.
