Striker Jordan Rhodes delights eight-year-old fan over the phone

Sheffield Wednesday striker Jordan Rhodes has delighted a young fan over the phone on 5 live.

It comes after he explained to the eight-year-old in a heart-warming letter why he left Middlesbrough.

Oliver wrote to Jordan and didn't expect a reply, but received a handwritten letter back from the player a few weeks later.

Over the phone, Oliver told him he'd scored twenty goals for his own football team and Jordan said he hoped he could turn Oliver into a Sheffield Wednesday fan.
