Born in Bastia, Rodriguez spent his early career with Monaco B, Monaco, Bastia, Strasbourg, Metz and Paris Saint-Germain. [1] [2]
He joined newly promoted Bradford City in the English Premier League on a season-long loan from PSG in September 1999, [3] for a loan fee of £500,000, [4] but after making five appearances in all competitions, [5] totalling 55 minutes of play, [4] the loan was cancelled in October. [6]
He later played for Lens, Guingamp, Rayo Vallecano, Ajaccio, Metz (again), and Clermont Foot. [1] [2]
