Young Scotland hero Jordan Rhodes is expected to complete a move from Huddersfield to Blackburn today after negotiating personal terms with the Lancashire club.

• Young Scot has become one of most prolific strikers in English league

Huddersfield are set to announce the move this afternoon, after the gathered 22-year-old attention after scoring 87 goals in 147 appearances.

Blackburn manager Steve Kean has already made several attempts to land Rhodes before the latest bid was finally accepted and he will now join the squad on a four-year contract.

Rhodes joined Huddersfield from Ipswich in July 2009 and has gone from strength to strength with the Terriers.

After eight goals in as many games for the Scotland Under-21 squad, he has now earned his first two caps for Scotland’s senior squad.

Rhodes claimed his first full international goal in Scotland’s 3-1 win against Australia at Easter Road last week.
