Club career[edit]

Rodríguez subsequently represented Rosario Central, JEF United Chiba, Defensa y Justicia and Central Córdoba before joining La Liga side Elche CF on 5 October 2020.[2] He terminated his contract with the latter club on 1 February 2021, after just three cup matches.[3]

Rodríguez was called up by coach Sergio Batista as part of the Argentina U-20 team for the 2009 South American U-20 Championship[4] He was a key player in the match against Ecuador that let the team advance to the second round where they were eventually eliminated.[5]
