Club career

Born in Alameda, Málaga, Andalusia, Rodríguez finished his formation with Málaga CF. On 8 December 2013, aged just 17, he made his senior debut with the reserves by starting in a 1–0 Tercera División away win against Los Villares CF.[1]

Rodríguez scored his first senior goal on 31 January 2015, netting his team's second from the midfield in a 2–2 draw at UD Maracena.[2] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 15 April 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for injured Ignasi Miquel in a 1–2 home loss against Real Madrid.[3]

On 19 November 2018, after becoming a starter for the first team now in Segunda División, Rodríguez renewed his contract until 2022.[4] For the 2019–20 campaign, however, he was not registered in the first team squad due to the club's poor financial status.[5]

On 20 January 2020, Rodríguez was loaned to fellow second division side SD Ponferradina for the remainder of the campaign.[6] Despite featuring rarely, he signed a permanent deal with the club on 8 August, after terminating his contract with Málaga.[7]
