Everton FC’s Jack Rodwell looks to increase his goal output this season

Jack Rodwell

JACK RODWELL helped Everton complete a clean sweep Down Under – then vowed to inflict more of the same on the Premier League this coming season.

Rodwell opened the scoring in spectacular fashion for David Moyes’s side in their 2-1 win over Brisbane Roar on Saturday, smashing in from the edge of the box shortly after half-time.

The 19-year-old was employed in the advanced midfield role in which he enjoyed success towards the end of last season, including a memorable strike against Manchester United.

And having notched four goals during the previous campaign, Rodwell has now set his sights on improving that figure.

“It was a nice way to sign off the tour,” he 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.”
