Jay Rodriguez

Despite not setting the world a-light at West Brom since his arrival, Jay Rodriguez will be looking to prove a point against his former employers. Despite not looking as sharp in recent seasons, many fans should know what Rodriguez can bring to a game.

The English striker opted to leave St. Mary’s for the Hawthorns after a mixed five years on the south coast which saw England call-ups and injury problems. It would seem that a lack of playing time was the reason for his departure, in the hope to revitalise his international career.

With a World Cup around the corner, the 28-year-old will be looking to make claim for a place in the England squad. Therefore it is likely we could see a motivated Rodriguez on his return to the South Coast.
