Sergio Rodríguez García

Sergio Rodríguez García (born 17 August 1984), commonly known as Rodri, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UE Llagostera as a central defender.

Born in Mataró, Barcelona, Catalonia, Rodri was a product of FC Barcelona's youth system. He played only two La Liga games with the first team over the course of two seasons, his first being on 11 December 2004 in a 2–1 away win against Albacete Balompié (three minutes played), and Barça were eventually crowned back-to-back champions in his second year, although he was mainly registered with the B-side.

During the summer of 2006, Rodri was purchased by Galicia's Deportivo de La Coruña, also appearing twice for the main squad in two seasons. In January 2007, he was loaned to second division club UD Almería, playing the entire 2007–08 campaign with Polideportivo Ejido, also in the category and in Andalusia.

In September 2008, Rodri was again loaned by Depor, joining Portuguese Primeira Liga team C.S. Marítimo. However, having made no competitive appearances during a brief three-month stay, he returned to A Coruña, moving in January 2009 to another division two side, UD Salamanca.

In late July 2009, Rodri was released by Deportivo and stayed in the second tier, signing a 1+1 contract with Hércules CF. In his first year he experienced his best season as a professional, scoring four goals in 38 matches as the Alicante club returned to the top flight after a 13-year absence.

Rodri appeared in 13 games for Hércules in 2010–11, mainly due to injury or suspension to habitual starters Abraham Paz and Noé Pamarot. In March 2011, he moved to FC Spartak Moscow in Russia for €400,000, signing a one-year deal.

After his contract ended, Rodri left Spartak. On 31 August 2012, he returned to his homeland and joined Rayo Vallecano.
