Blackpool
Rodwell joined Graham Carr's Blackpool from Colne Dynamoes in the summer of 1990. He appeared in 49 of Blackpool's 51 league and cup games in his debut 1990–91 season, as well is in their three play-off ties (scoring Blackpool's goal in their semi-final, first leg draw at Scunthorpe United), making the number-7 shirt his own. He scored on his full debut, in a 4–1 victory over Wrexham at Bloomfield Road on 15 September. He went on to score a further six league goals during the campaign, the majority of which came under the managership of Graham Carr's assistant, Billy Ayre, who took over the reins when Carr was fired. He became a cult hero there, with the crowds chants of Welease Wodders, mimicking The Monty Pythons Life of Brian
In 1991–92, Rodwell scored eleven goals in 42 league appearances, including a hat-trick in Blackpool's 5–2 win at Aldershot on 5 November 1991; however, all records against Aldershot that season were expunged when, at the end of the campaign, the club went bankrupt.
Rodwell made a further 57 league appearances and scored two goals in his final three seasons with Blackpool.
After a short spell at Scarborough (which included a loan stint at Wigan Athletic), he finished his playing career with non-League Witton Albion.
