Former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Carlton Palmer has told Football FanCast in an exclusive interview that the Owls moving Jordan Rhodes on was "good business".

Wednesday recently announced their retained list, with Rhodes' name not being on it.

The 31-year-old striker has since gone on to rejoin Huddersfield Town on a free transfer, previously playing for the Championship outfit between 2009-12.

Rhodes was supposedly on £35,000 a week during his time at Hillsborough and, on that kind of Money, Palmer feels the League One club had no choice but to part ways with the Scotsman.

On Rhodes, the ex-Wednesday player said:

"I believe he's a nice lad. From what I hear, my pal who's a Norwich City supporter said he was great when he went down, but still not a massive goal return again.

"He's good to have around the dressing room and whatever. Well, that's alright for me if I'm not paying him that type of money, do you know what I mean? So, you know, it's good business for Wednesday to move him on, good business for them to move him on."

While Rhodes did manage to find the back of the net a few times in the last part of the season, he did struggle throughout the majority of the campaign.

The former Blackburn Rovers forward finished the term with seven league goals in 36 appearances, while his overall record at Wednesday was far from prolific.

Furthermore, perhaps this fresh start was needed for everyone and could give Rhodes the chance to rediscover his goalscoring touch again.
