Just hours after his loan from Sheffield Wednesday was confirmed, Jordan Rhodes has already made a positive impression in Norwich City colours.

Rhodes, who will spend the season at Carrow Road, was introduced for the second half of City’s 3-1 friendly win at Lincoln City on Tuesday.

And the 28-year-old took just nine minutes to make an impact, setting up Onel Hernandez to send Norwich 2-0 up at Sincil Bank.

Four minutes later, Rhodes was at it again, with Louis Thompson profiting this time, and added to his ‘nice guy’ reputation by sticking around for autographs and photographs with the travelling fans.

Given his Sheffield Wednesday struggles, some Norwich supporters were understandably apprehensive about the Scotland international’s arrival.

But the following Canaries fans like what they have seen so far…

Rhodes has scored 99 goals in 238 games at Championship level, though only eight of those came for Sheffield Wednesday.

Will the Sheffield Wednesday loanee prove successful at Norwich?
