Everton youngster Rodwell happy with attacking role

Everton youngster Jack Rodwell is happy to be playing in a more attacking role.

The teenager has been operating in a more advanced midfield position lately, scoring impressively against Manchester United and Hull and assisting for Mikel Arteta at Manchester City.

"It's good and I'm happy to play anywhere on the pitch for the team," Rodwell told evertonTV "The gaffer's given me a bit more license to get forward, which I'm enjoying at the moment.

"It's all experience and I've played defensive midfield for most of the season and a couple of seasons ago, at centre-half. So it's hard to believe that I've gone from defence to attacking midfield!

"I've been getting few goals and getting in the right positions and I've been working on it in training as well."
