Rhodes was part of the title winning Cinderford side that kept 24 clean sheets and conceded only 29 goals last season. Rhodes also scored 3 goals, all in the second half of the season with his first being the opener in the 3-1 defeat of the Cleeve back in February. He will join the likes of Jordan Stoddart and Leroy Odiero in a strong Cleeve defensive lineup.

On the impending move, manager Steve Cleal said:

“Having Nick back at the lane is a great coup for us, he is one of the best defenders in the league and now has the experience of winning it that can only be a good addition to our young squad, he had a couple of teams after him but he has chosen us”

Cleal is looking to make some more signings in the coming weeks with an exciting 2016/17 season coming which will see the Mitres host the likes of Hereford and Salisbury in the league.
