Silvio Rodić (born 25 July 1987) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for NRFL Premier club North Shore United. Besides Croatia, he has played in Poland and New Zealand.[1]
Career[]
A native of Donji Miholjac, Rodić joined NK Slaven Belupo in Koprivnica in 2002, aged 15. In his last under-19 season, he was loaned to Slaven's feeder club, NK Koprivnica in Croatia's second-tier. He would go onto establishing himself as the club's first choice goalkeeper there during his first two seasons of first-team football.
Upon his return to Slaven, he was initially the understudy to Vanja Iveša, however, by 2008/09, he would win the starting role, eventually making 150 league appearances for the club in Croatia's top-flight, the Prva HNL.
In early 2014, Rodić was loaned to Polish top-flight club, Zagłębie Lubin. His performances drew the attention of other league sides, and he was signed that summer by fellow Ektraklasa club, Górnik Łęczna.[2]
In 2016, Rodić and his family immigrated to New Zealand. He signed for Eastern Suburbs in New Zealand's top tier, dropping to the NRFL Division 1 to play for Waiheke United during the winter football season. He signed for Waitakere United the following season, making only one appearance as backup to Nick Draper.
Later, having signed with North Shore United, Rodić won the NRFL Premier in 2019.
International career[]
Rodić has represented Croatia at U21 level, playing the full 90 minutes in a friendly against Togo in 2008.[3]
