Rodwell grateful for Everton education

Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell feels he's been lucky to come through the club's academy.

Rodwell has been with the Toffees since his early teens.

He told Absolute Radio: "It's been brilliant. You know, the Academy has always produced good players, you can look at the names; Wayne Rooney, and obviously there's loads more, Francis Jeffers, you know, they've all gone on playing for England, and hopefully I'll do that myself.

"You know, the Academy, like I said, is fantastic, and they make you feel at home and I enjoyed every minute of it."

  This Saturday Absolute Radio's Rock 'N' Roll Football Live travels to Goodison Park for their feature game Everton v Man City. You can tune in every Saturday on Absolute Radio extra - on DAB Digital Radio, 1215AM and online in the UK. Tune in for the full Jack Rodwell interview. For more go to absoluteradio.co.uk/football.
