### Early career

Rodrigues began with his local club, Chasseneuil, before leaving for National 2 club Angoulême. He would progress up Angoulême's youth teams before being promoted to the senior team, where he would make five appearances. In 2021, Rodrigues would leave for Régional 1 Nouvelle-Aquitaine team Deux Mers. He would score 13 goals in his only season and helped the club get promoted to National 3. However, he would return back to the Regional 1 with Bassin d'Arcachon, due to the instability of Deux Mers. He would score 12 goals in the league, which attracted attention from National club Concarneau.

### Concarneau

Concarneau coach Stéphane Le Mignan invited Rodrigues to a one week trial in December, which helped Rodrigues secure a six month contract with an option to extend a year.

His first start came on 14 August, in a 1-0 loss against Bordeaux. A few days following his grandfather's death, he would score his first Ligue 2 goals on 2 February 2024, in a 3-0 win against Annecy. He would end the season with 22 appearances and 3 goals. However, Concarneau would be relegated at the end of the season.

### Bastia

Following Concarneau's relegation, Rodrigues secured a four-year contract with SC Bastia, remaining in Ligue 2. The signing was announced on June 19, 2024.
