Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Rodríguez joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2011, from UE Cornellà.[1] In 2016, after finishing his formation, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B, and made his senior debut on 20 August of that year by starting in a 3–2 home win against Real Sociedad B.[2]

On 3 August 2017, after featuring sparingly, Rodríguez was loaned to fellow third division side CE Sabadell FC, for one year.[3] The following 10 July, he cut ties with Los Blancos and agreed to a contract with Girona FC, being assigned to farm team CF Peralada-Girona B still in division three.[4]

On 30 July 2019, Rodríguez joined another reserve team, Club Recreativo Granada also in the third level.[5] He made his first team debut on 17 December, starting in a 3–2 away win against CE L'Hospitalet, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6]

Rodríguez made his La Liga debut on 1 July 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Gil Dias in a 2–0 away defeat of Deportivo Alavés.[7]

On 15 September 2020, he moved to Poland and signed with Warta Poznań.[8]
