He made his Premier League debut on 9 March 2008 replacing Tim Cahill in a 1-0 victory over Sunderland,[2] and signed his first professional contract with Everton on 17 March 2008.[3]

In December 2006, Rodwell captained the England Under-16 side to Victory Shield glory, following a 2-1 victory over Scotland.[4] Four months later he struck the first winning goal at Wembley Stadium for England in a 1-0 win over Spain.[5]

On 25 March 2008, Rodwell scored England U17's only goal as they drew 1-1 with France U17 in a 2008 UEFA European U17 Football Championship qualifier. [6]
