Lexington, Ky. – Kentucky women’s soccer star, Jordyn Rhodes, has taken a crucial step forward in her career by signing a contract to play professionally with Icelandic club, Tindastóll. With this move, Rhodes becomes the all-time leading goal scorer in Kentucky women’s soccer history to pursue a professional career.
“I am very grateful and excited for this opportunity to start my professional career with Tindastóll,” Rhodes expressed. “I can’t wait to get with the team and take this step in my career. They have been so welcoming and it feels like a great fit for me. I also want to thank Kentucky and everyone here for everything they have given me in the past four and a half years. Without them, none of this would be possible. I have grown so much during my time here, not just as a player, but as a person. It has been an honor to represent this school and I will miss it!”
Rhodes has set an impressive record at the University of Kentucky with 45 career goals, making her the highest-scoring women’s soccer player in the school’s history. She also ranks third in points (104), second in games played (85), and second in shots (234). Notably, Rhodes is a two-time First-Team All-SEC selection, one of only six players in the program’s history to receive this honor multiple times. She has also been recognized as a three-time United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region honoree.
Originally from South Lebanon, Ohio, Rhodes has achieved the feat of recording multiple hat tricks at Kentucky, joining the elite company of Arin Gilliland and Cheryl Shimovetz. Throughout her time at Kentucky, Rhodes consistently led or shared the lead in goals scored, establishing herself as a vital contributor to the Wildcats’ success.
