Aleksandar Rodić (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Родић, pronounced [aleksǎːndar rǒːditɕ, alěksaːn-];[1][2] born 26 December 1979) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays for Itala San Marco.
Career[]
At the beginning of his career Rodić played in Serbia. He made 3 appearances for FK Proleter Zrenjanin in the 1999–2000 First League of FR Yugoslavia.[3]
On transfer deadline day in January 2005, Rodić signed for English club Portsmouth,[4] making his debut as an 81st-minute substitute for Patrik Berger in a 2–1 victory over Middlesbrough.[5] However, he failed to hold down a regular place in the team and the following season (2005–06) he was loaned to Turkish club Kayserispor. Rodić was released in the summer of 2006 and was signed by Bulgarian club Litex Lovech to partner Milivoje Novaković, another Slovenian international and Litex attacker.[6] He made 16 appearances in the league, managing 1 goal. After leaving the team, Rodić accused club owner Grisha Ganchev, manager Ljupko Petrović and the administrative personnel at the team of a lack of professionalism.[7] In 2007, he moved to Interblock for 200,000 euros.[8][9] On 13 March 2009, Rodić was loaned out to Shanghai Shenhua of the Chinese Super League.[citation needed] In February 2010, he was loaned to another Chinese Super League club, Qingdao Jonoon.[10]
