The Alex Rodman story

One time Leamington player Alex Rodman is the subject of a double page feature article in The Non-League Paper today and it hasn't been all plain sailing since the winger left the Brakes.

He went from Leamington to Grantham Town, Lincoln United, Gainsborough Trinity and Nuneaton Borough. However, the two-and-a-half years he spent at Tamworth under Gary Mills was crucial to his development as a player.

He then went to Aldershot Town in January 2011 where he impressed, attracting interest from Birmingham City and West Ham United. But then in the following January, he received a heavy blow. He was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism and was told he couldn't play for the rest of the season or his life would be at risk.

Playing catch up when he came back, he was loaned out to York City in November and was then made redundant by Aldershot's administrator in May. He is still owed money by the club. However, things are now looking up for the 26-year old as he has signed for Grimsby.
