Rhodes officially starts his second spell at Town on July 1 after making a switch on a free transfer to the club on a three-year deal recently.

It means that Wednesday will start the season on home soil with two White Rose derbies with Darren Moore's side to face Town in midweek before their Hillsborough league opener against his old side Doncaster Rovers on August 14.
