Club career
Born in the village of Baguim do Monte in Gondomar, Rodrigues joined FC Porto in 2005 at the age of 10. He played the remainder of his formative years with the club, also being loaned to Padroense F.C. who acted as the under-16 squad.
On 12 August 2013, Rodrigues made his professional debut with the reserves, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Mauro Caballero in a 3–2 away win against S.C. Beira-Mar for the Segunda Liga championship. At the beginning of the 2014–15 season, he won the confidence of coach Luis Castro and became a starter, scoring a hat-trick in a 7–0 home routing of S.C. Olhanense.
In January 2015, after netting eleven times for the B-side, Rodrigues was called by first-team manager Julen Lopetegui for a Taca da Liga match against C.F. Uniao to be held on the 14th. He played the first half of an eventual 3–1 home win, before leaving the pitch with an injury.
On 2 February 2015, Rodrigues was loaned to Vitoria de Guimaraes, playing his first competitive game against C.F. Belenenses for the Portuguese League Cup and making his first appearance in the Primeira Liga against the same opponent, in two matches separated by four days. For the 2015–16 campaign, in the same predicament, he signed for F.C. Arouca, making his debut on 16 August 2015 by featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 success at Moreirense FC.
International career
Rodrigues represented Portugal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all five games (only one complete) in an eventual quarter-final exit in New Zealand and scoring in a 4–0 group stage win over Qatar.
