Rhodes was at the double over the weekend as he bagged a brace to secure three points for Wednesday against local rivals, Barnsley, giving them a glimmer of hope for survival going into the international break.
The 31-year-old now just needs eight more goals to become the Championship’s top scoring player of all time – overtaking David Nugent (121 goals), but it remains to be seen exactly what the future holds when his current deal expires at the end of June.

I’m doing my best, and that’s all I can say.”
He wouldn’t be drawn into commenting on his future simply telling the media, “That’s for the powers that be, that’s way out of my control, I’ll just leave it at that.”
What the striker did say, however, was that the focus right now was on the next game, saying, “We’re not thinking about anything else at this point in time – every game that comes around we’re just concentrating on doing our best, and getting the required points to climb up that table. We’ll fight right until the very end.”
Next up for Wednesday is a trip to Watford and Rhodes has certainly done enough to justify another start.
