Born in Pilas, Province of Seville, Rodríguez spent the vast majority of his career in the Spanish lower leagues. His professional input in his country consisted of two La Liga matches with Sevilla FC, as well as 16 in Segunda División with their reserves. He made his debut in the former competition on 19 October 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Lautaro Acosta in a 1–0 away win against UD Almería where he was also booked.[1]
Rodríguez scored a career-best 18 goals in the 2013–14 season (adding two in the Copa del Rey) to help FC Cartagena qualify for the promotion play-offs in Segunda División B, where they eventually fell short. In 2016, with the club still in that league, he returned for a second spell.[2]
In January 2017, the 29-year-old Rodríguez moved abroad for the first time, signing with Ceres–Negros F.C. of the Philippines Football League[3] and being officially announced on the 17th.[4] One year later, he switched to the Liga 1 (Indonesia) with Mitra Kukar FC.[5]
On 28 November 2018, Rodríguez joined Malaysia Super League club Kedah FA.[6] On 8 January 2020 he joined Johor Darul Ta'zim II FC, a reserve team who competed in the country's second tier.[7]
