Phil Neville has seen "a different" Jack Rodwell on Everton's tour of Australia and claims the starlet can score "five to ten" goals this term.[LNB] Rodwell notched twice during the Toffees' pre-season trip Down Under, and Neville believes the 19-year-old has the ability to get the goals that would help him cement a regular place in the Everton midfield.[LNB]Neville told evertontv: "Jack has had a good tour and he keeps progressing.[LNB]"He is maturing all the time and I think we are seeing a different Jack Rodwell now. He looks like someone who can go on to score five to ten goals for us this season.[LNB]"He looks a goal threat and we are glad he is in our team.[LNB]"There are not many around who actually score goals, so they are a vital commodity. We have good competition for places in goal scoring midfield positions: Osman, Arteta, Pienaar, Cahill - they are all good goal scoring midfielders, so he is going to have to produce performances like he has on this tour to cement his place in the team.[LNB]"We all know he has got ability and an unbelievable future and he has a good head on his shoulders too."
