Club career

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Rodrigues joined S.C. Braga at the age of 16. He spent his first two seasons as a senior with the reserve side in the third division. [2]

Rodrigues played his first competitive game with the first team on 28 December 2020, coming on as a last-minute substitute in a 4–1 away win against Boavista F.C. in the Primeira Liga. [3] [2] Three days later, he signed a three-and-a-half-year professional contract with the club until 2025. [4] [2]

Rodrigues scored his first goal for Braga on 17 October 2021, the second in the 5–0 away victory over UFC Moitense in the third round of the Taça de Portugal. [5] His first in the UEFA Europa League arrived the following 8 September, when he opened a 2–0 group-stage defeat of Malmö FF. [6]

On 28 January 2023, Rodrigues was loaned to Fatih Karagümrük S.K. of the Turkish Süper Lig with an option to buy. [7] In June, he agreed to a permanent deal at G.D. Chaves, with Braga keeping 50% of the player's economic rights. [8]
