“As a kid, I always dreamed of making my senior debut.” — Jack Rodwell

I just want to do the best I can, which means playing for the England full side one day and carry on playing well for Everton.

It's brilliant to be compared with such a player as Rio Ferdinand.

I like centre-half, but I can play centre-mid as well.

I'm just going to give my all every game, be a good box-to-box midfielder, hopefully score some goals, and I will always give it 100 per cent.
