Club career

Born in Cedeira, A Coruña, Galicia, Rodríguez joined Racing de Ferrol's youth setup in 2010, from hometown club Cedeira SD. He made his senior debut on 1 December 2012, coming on as a late substitute for Manu Barreiro in a 4–1 away routing of Narón BP for the Tercera División championship.

Rodríguez would only appear rarely for Racing in the following years, spending a full season with the reserves in the regional leagues. He left the club in 2014, and joined fourth tier side Arosa SC on 17 July of that year.[1]

After being an undisputed starter during the campaign, Rodríguez joined UD Somozas in Segunda División B on 7 July 2015.[2] The following 24 June, he signed a two-year deal with another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B in the fourth division.[3]

Rodríguez made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 22 October 2016, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Granada CF.[4] Ahead of the 2018–19 season, he was definitely promoted to the main squad after agreeing to a new two-year contract.[5]
