Career

[edit]
Rodríguez with Independiente in 2008.

Independiente

[edit]

Born in Quilmes, Rodríguez began his career on Independiente, joining the club's youth categories in 2000, aged 10. On 10 February 2008, he made his first team debut, in a 0–1 loss against Lanús.[1] On 15 March, he provided an assist for Germán Denis' goal in a 3–1 win against Gimnasia La Plata.[2] On 5 April, he was handed his first start, in a 1–3 loss against Colón.[3]

On 30 August 2009, Rodríguez scored his first and second professional goals, against Atlético Tucumán.[4]

Santos

[edit]

On 20 July 2012, Rodríguez signed a four-year contract with Brazilian Série A club Santos.[5][6] On 11 August, he made his debut for Peixe, scoring the first goal in a 2–2 draw against Atlético-GO.[7]

On 31 July 2013, Rodríguez signed with Estudiantes de La Plata, in a season-long loan deal.[8] He returned to Santos in the 2014 summer, but was sparingly used.

On 19 February 2015, Rodríguez was loaned to Johor Darul Ta'zim until November.[9]

AEK Athens

[edit]

On 20 July 2016, Rodríguez signed a two-year contract with Greek side AEK Athens, with an annual salary of €500,000.[10] He made his official debut against Xanthi, providing his teammates with 2 assists and helping his team secure a comfortable 4–1 win.[11]

On 14 October 2016, AEK's winger was suspended with a three-match ban for his unprofessional behavior against Diogo Figueiras in a 3–0 away loss in the derby clash against Olympiakos.[12] On 5 November 2016, he scored his first goal in a 2–2 home draw against Atromitos.[13] On 10 December 2016, he scored in a 4–0 win against Levadiakos. On 13 April 2017 Patito scored the winning goal in a 2–1 Greek Cup semifinals first leg away win against champions Olympiacos.[14] Despite the rumours from the beginning of 2017–18 season, it was reported Rodríguez would remain a member of AEK until the end of the season, when his current contract with the historic club expires.[15] Eventually on 8 December 2017, he released from the club by mutual consent.[16]

Newcastle Jets

[edit]

On 22 December 2017, Newcastle Jets announced signing Rodríguez as an injury replacement in the January transfer window, replacing their injured marquee Ronald Vargas.[17] He scored on his debut for Newcastle Jets in a 2–0 win over rivals Central Coast Mariners.[18] Following Vargas's recovery from injury and re-signing with Newcastle Jets, the club announced Rodríguez's release on 16 May 2018.[19]
