Playing career

Rhead was born in Stoke-on-Trent and played for nearby non-league side Norton United before joining Kidsgrove Athletic ahead of the 2004–2005 season. He moved on to join Eastwood Town, making a goal scoring debut in the club's 2–3 home defeat to Matlock Town on 16 October 2007. The fee was a record for the two clubs and Rhead would end the season as Eastwood's top goalscorer of the season having netted 17 goals from 26 starts. At the end of September 2008, he rejoined Kidsgrove Athletic on a month's loan but with the loan restricting him only to league games, he started only a single game before returning to Eastwood at the end of the loan period. He departed Eastwood to join Nantwich Town for the start of the 2009–2010 season before joining Congleton Town on an initial month's loan, making a goalscoring debut in the club's draw with Squires Gate on 12 December 2009; after a month's loan he agreed terms to join the club on a permanent basis until the end of the 2009–10 season. Having been invited for pre-season training with Eastwood Town he rejoined the club he had first joined for £4000 from Kidsgrove back in October 2007. He joined Corby Town from Eastwood Town in June 2011.
