Rhodes made both his List A and Twenty20 debuts for Yorkshire during the 2013 English cricket season. In the same year, he also made 102 for England Under 19s against the Pakistan Under-19 cricket team.

Rhodes was the captain of the England Under 19s at the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates. He led the England U19s to victory over the tournament favorites, the India U19s, in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, he rescued his side with an unbeaten 76 n.o. after the team was reduced to 119 for 6 in the 37th over. However, the England U19s lost the semifinal match to the Pakistan U19s in a tight contest. Rhodes nonetheless received praise for his captaincy in that match.[3]

Rhodes was born in Nottingham but grew up in the East Yorkshire village of Cottingham on the outskirts of Kingston upon Hull.

In June 2017, it was announced that Rhodes would join Warwickshire ahead of the 2018 season.[4]
