Blackburn Rovers are working on bringing Jack Rodwell to the club, the have quoted manager Tony Mowbray saying.
Rodwell started his career with Everton as a product of their academy, and moved to Manchester City as a hot prospect in 2012. However, he made only 25 appearances over two years for the current Premier League holders before moving to Sunderland.
The midfielder s four seasons at the North-East of England were riddled with various issues, injuries not least among them. In April this year, manager Chris Coleman revealed he didn t know where Rodwell was mentally. His contract was eventually cancelled in June and he is now a free agent.
He now faces an uphill task of getting his career back on track, and Blackburn are aware they would be getting a quality player that wouldn t cost much. Mowbray says Rodwell s talent is not to be questioned, and he indicated a proper chance would be given to the 27-year-old to prove himself once again, should a deal between the club and the player be struck.
