Jack Rodwell signs for A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers as English outcast looks to resurrect his career after a 16-MONTH absence - with his last appearance coming in July 2020 as a substitute for Sheffield United!

Forgotten man Jack Rodwell is back in football after being signed by Australian outfit Western Sydney Wanderers.

The former prestigious English talent, who won three caps for his country, hasn't stepped out on a football pitch in over 16 months - but has been given a chance to resurrect his career in the A-League after putting pen-to-paper on a one-year deal.

The 30-year-old's last appearance came as a second-half substitute for Sheffield United during a 1-1 draw at Burnley on July 5, 2020. In fact, that was his first Premier League appearance since May 2017 when Sunderland were thumped 5-1 at Chelsea.
