Moyes sees role for Rodwell
Everton boss David Moyes has confirmed he intends to hand teenager Jack Rodwell a more prominent role in his side next season.
England Under 21 international Rodwell is highly rated on Merseyside after making his Toffees debut in 2007 at just 16 years of age.
Moyes believes that the midfielder has a bright future ahead of him and plans to further utilise his qualities, after handing him nine Premier League starts last term.
The Scot said in the Daily Star: "We're going to keep trying to bring him on and there have been some periods of the season where he's been very good and some periods where you can see he's still a boy.
"He has only just turned 18. It's going to take experience and time but he has undoubtedly got a good future ahead of him. You can see his ability and we are keen to push him on.
"Next year instead of playing five, six or eight games it might be up to 18 or 20 games depending on how his improvement is. He has got great pace and athleticism."
Reports in Sunday's press have linked Rodwell, who signed a new five-year deal at Everton earlier this year, with a move to Manchester United.
