Bruno Rodriguez (born 25 November 1972) is a French former professional footballer who played as a forward.
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, for a loan fee of £500,000,[3] but after making five appearances in all competitions, totalling 55 minutes of play,[3] the loan was cancelled in October.[4]
He later played for Lens, Guingamp, Rayo Vallecano, Ajaccio, Metz (again), and Clermont Foot.[1] [2]
After retiring he returned to Corsica, and was living in Bastia as of December 2016.[5]
Rodriguez was born in France to a Spanish father and Corsican mother.[6] He was a France B international.[3]
In March 2022 the French players’ union UNFP confirmed that Rodriguez had undergone amputation of a leg due to chronic pain he had been suffering from since retirement from playing.[7]
