Born in Redondela, Pontevedra, Galicia, Rodríguez joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2013, from CD Choco.[1] [2] In 2020, before even having appeared for the reserves, he was called up to make the pre-season with the main squad.[3]
Rodríguez made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 4 October 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Nolito in a 0–2 away loss to CA Osasuna;[4] aged 17 years and 159 days, he became the fourth-youngest to debut for the club, behind Sansón (the second-youngest of the league's history), Iago Bouzón and Santi Mina.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 7 April 2023, netting his team's first in a 2–2 away draw against Sevilla FC.
On 5 July 2024, Rodríguez was loaned to Dutch Eredivisie side FC Utrecht for the 2024–25 season.[6]
