Huddersfield striker Rhodes in Scotland squad

Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes will be named in the Scotland squad to face Australia on August 15th after being left out of the under-21 pool. Rhodes scored 48 goals last season for Championship Town and Scotland Under-21s.

Head coach Billy Stark, said: "That season will be difficult to repeat but in the previous two seasons he scored one in two, which is a fantastic average at any level.

"He is a goalscorer and a chance is a chance, and I don't have any doubts that if he gets a chance he will score in the Championship.

"You could maybe be a bit surprised he hasn't had a move after the season he has had. The window is open until August 31 so it still wouldn't surprise me.

"But he is such a grounded boy and he is not one who would be neglecting his work with Huddersfield waiting and wishing he was going to get a move to the English Premier.

"He is looking forward to playing in the Championship.

"The Scotland path has been open to him before in Cyprus. He has been exceptional at under-21 level."
