JACK RODWELL is overjoyed to have ended Everton’s tour of Australia on such a high.
The midfielder scored his side’s first goal in the 2-1 victory over Brisbane Roar on Saturday – firing in a superb strike from the edge of the box on 49 minutes.
Kosta Barbarouses equalised for the hosts midway through the second half before new signing Magaye Gueye netted the visitors’ second to secure a third successive win Down Under.
And Rodwell says he is pleased to be making improvements to his game at this stage of the campaign.
“It was a nice way to sign off the tour,” Rodwell said.
” It was good to get another win and to be on the score sheet which is my main aim for next season – to get more goals.
“Any goal counts but obviously it is a bit special to score a goal like that.
“The top players in the world, the Gerrards and Kakas score from long distance and that is something I am aiming to work on in my game. I am still young so hopefully I can keep on improving.”
