William Rhodes was an English first-class cricketer, who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1911, when he also played for the Second XI. He bowled eleven overs of right arm pace for 40 runs, against the Indian Tourists at The Circle, Kingston upon Hull, but failed to take a wicket. Rhodes was left one not out in his only innings. Yorkshire won the match by an innings and 43 runs. Alfred Pullin, writing as "Old Ebor" in the Yorkshire Evening Post during the course of the match, was not complimentary about Rhodes. "I doubt whether Rhodes makes the most of his physical abilities," Pullin wrote. "He has a short ambling run, and does not go through with his delivery, and it is not by these restricted movements that fast bowling usually is developed."
