Rhodes spent six years playing in the Scottish Premier League with Dunfermline Athletic and Perth side St Johnstone, and in 1995 had a brief stint on loan at Bolton Wanderers. [3]

Rhodes was the goalkeeping coach at Ipswich Town from 2004 to May 2008. [4] In October 2004, he became registered as an Ipswich Town player to cover for injuries. He remained a reserve keeper at Ipswich until 2008.

He was the last member of former Ipswich manager Joe Royle's backroom staff to leave the club. [3]
