Club career
Born in Canelones, Rodriguez began playing youth football with Danubio, and made his professional debut with the first team on 4 December 2010, starting in a 4–2 home win over Central Espanol. He finished the season with nine appearances (six starts, 551 minutes of action).
On 27 July 2011 Rodriguez was transferred to Spanish club UD Almeria, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda Division B. Five days later, he was called up for pre-season with the first team squad. He still continued to appear regularly for the B's, however.
On 9 August 2012 Rodriguez reverted to his old name (in his first season abroad he was called Iriarte). He subsequently fell out of the pecking order, appearing only in 12 matches in 2013–14.
On 23 August 2014 Rodriguez joined KF Vllaznia Shkoder, along with fellow compatriot Sebastian Sosa. On 25 September he switched teams and countries again, joining FC Locarno in Switzerland.
