Rodwell could go on to be a very important player for Everton
Everton boss David Moyes heaped praise on Jack Rodwell after his two-goal performance in the 4-0 defeat of Sigma Olomouc in their Europa League tie.
Midfielder Rodwell, 18, was in inspired form and became Everton's youngest scorer in European competition.
Moyes said: "He showed he is a very good player. He controlled parts of the game at different times.
"I was surprised by his shooting - he strikes a lovely ball but I haven't seen him rattle the the net before."
However, Moyes added that he would continue to use Rodwell sparingly, insisting the youngster still has some way to go before his is the finished article.
"Jack has great potential and we hope he will go on to fulfil it," said Moyes.
"We will bring him along in the right way. He has a bit to go yet. We will use him in the games we see fit."
