Alan Rhodes signed for Featherstone Rovers on Thursday 30 November 1967, he made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 2 March 1968, he played his last match for Featherstone Rovers during the 1974–75 season, he made his début for York on Sunday 7 September 1975, and he played his last match for York on Sunday 20 April 1980,[7] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.
