Club career[]
Born in Talayuela, Cáceres, Extremadura, Rodri started his career with CP Talayuela, and subsequently represented EF Navalmoral before joining Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2011. After spending the pre-season with the side, he was loaned to CD Canillas for a year before joining Atlético Madrid in 2012.[1]
In June 2014, after a one-year spell at RCD Espanyol, Rodri joined FC Barcelona's La Masia.[2] After leaving Barça in 2015, he then spent a year at Deportivo de La Coruña before joining Real Betis' youth setup in 2016.
Rodri made his senior debut with the reserves on 26 August 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 Tercera División home win against Conil CF.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 7 October, netting the third in a 8–0 home routing of CD Gerena,[4] and renewed his contract until 2022 the following 27 March.[5]
Rodri made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 7 November 2020, replacing Sergio Canales late into a 5–2 away loss against his former club Barcelona.[6]
