Hide AdOn the signing, one fan wrote: “Quality player. He definitely knows where the goal is.”
Another added: “I’ll take that. Might be a bit old, slowly getting past it, but knows where the net is and is a pain in the backside for defenders. I’d like to see him up top with (Shayne) Lavery.”
A third agreed: “He knows where the goal is, just hope he still has the hunger. Welcome aboard Jordan.”
A fourth stated: “I’m sure if he gets the supply and has the desire to make those run then the lad will score goals.”
Meanwhile some supporters are unsure about the signing.

A second fan added: “That’s very underwhelming, but still hopes he does well. Hoping for a miracle yet again.”
Rhodes was registered in time for Saturday’s game against Lincoln City, and could be called upon to make his Seasiders debut at the LNER Stadium.
While they are yet to concede this season, the Tangerines have struggled in front of goal in their last three outings- which have all ended in goalless draws.
