Biography
Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Rodriguez started his career at local club RCD Espanyol. In the summer of 2010 he joined Italian side Cesena, and made his first-team – and Serie A – debut on 7 November 2010, playing the last 13 minutes of a 1–3 loss at Juventus. He spent the vast majority of the season with the reserves, however.
In July 2011, Rodriguez moved to Pavia in a season-long loan deal. After playing regularly for the side he returned to Cesena, and netted his first goal for the club on 30 October 2012, scoring a last-minute 3–2 winner against Grosseto at Stadio Dino Manuzzi. In 2012–13 season, he was awarded the number 30 shirt which was vacated by Francesco Urso. In 2013, he picked the number 9 shirt which he inherited from Gianluca Lapadula when the latter departed the club.
