South African attacking midfielder Jaedin Rhodes of Cape Town City is being linked with a move to Austrian side SV Ried, with fresh speculation emerging from transfer listings in Europe.
Rhodes, 23, is listed as an attacking midfielder and wears the number 23 shirt for Cape Town City, the club from his home city of Cape Town, Western Cape. The latest rumour, dated 12 June 2026, has him moving from the South African club to SV Ried, who are associated with the Austrian Bundesliga. The reported probability of the transfer is marked only as “?”, underlining that discussions remain at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
With no contract expiry date recorded for Rhodes at Cape Town City, there is uncertainty over whether he could run down his deal and leave as a free agent in a future window or whether a transfer fee would be required. His current market value is listed as “None” on Transfermarkt, adding to the ambiguity around any potential valuation and making it difficult to gauge what sort of financial package might tempt City into talks.
Born on 11 April 2003, Rhodes is a right-footed attacking midfielder who can operate in the central offensive role behind the striker. He represents South Africa as his sole nationality and has built his senior career to date at Cape Town City FC, for whom he is also recorded as the “national team” on his player profile, underlining his status as a club-developed talent rather than an established international.
Recent domestic fixtures have continued to showcase his role in City’s midfield, including their league outing earlier this month, where he featured in an attacking role. While individual statistics from that match are not detailed in the data, his continued involvement has helped sustain outside interest in his development.
With SV Ried monitoring his situation and his contractual status opaque, any move – whether via transfer or future free-agent scenario – would offer Rhodes a first step into European football and could prove a defining moment in shaping his reputation and long-term potential.
