Club career

[edit | edit source]

Benfica

Born in Odivelas, Roderick arrived in Benfica's youth academy in 2000 (aged nine), from Lisbon neighbours Odivelas.[5] He was promoted to the first team nine years later after having played in all the youth ranks, and made his debut on 17 December 2009 in a dead rubber game in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League, featuring for the full 90 minutes of a 2–1 home win against AEK Athens.[6][7] His only other appearance was on 13 January, in a 1–1 away draw with Vitória de Guimarães in the Taça da Liga round-robin.[8]

Roderick played his first game in the Primeira Liga on 7 November 2010, as a 73rd-minute substitute for Carlos Martins in a 5–0 loss at Porto in O Clássico.[9] For 2011–12, he was loaned to Servette in Switzerland – coached by former Benfica player João Alves – in a season-long move.[10]

On 31 July 2012, Roderick joined Deportivo de La Coruña of La Liga, also on loan for a season. He made four appearances, starting with a 1–1 draw at Athletic Bilbao in which he requested his substitution through injury;[11] he returned to the Estádio da Luz in the following transfer window.[12]

In one of only two league matches in the 2012–13 campaign, Roderick came on away to Porto in the penultimate round of fixtures, with both teams competing for the title; he was marking Kelvin, who scored the added-time winner.[13][14] He said years later that manager Jorge Jesus did not blame him for the defeat.[15]

Rio Ave

[edit | edit source]

Roderick was released by Benfica in August 2013, signing a five-year deal with Rio Ave.[16] In January 2015, he suffered an Achilles tendon injury against Gil Vicente, and was ruled out for the rest of the season.[17]

On 18 March 2016, nearing his 25th birthday, Roderick scored his first senior goal, a header that was the only one in a home game with Marítimo.[18] He netted three times in 33 games in the following campaign,[19][20][21] helping to a seventh-place finish.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

[edit | edit source]

On 13 June 2017, Roderick joined English Championship team Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[22] He made his debut on 5 August, playing the whole of a 1–0 home victory over Middlesbrough.[23]

Roderick continued in the league team for 14 matches, before falling out of favour with manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[24] He finished the season with 19 appearances in all competitions,[25] as Wolves were promoted as champions.[26]

On 11 July 2018, Roderick joined Super League Greece club Olympiacos on a season-long loan.[27] On 1 September 2019, he moved to Famalicão, newly promoted to the Portuguese top division, again on loan.[28] He played regularly as the team finished sixth, scoring two goals, and was sent off in the 34th minute of a 2–2 draw at nearby Braga on 3 November for a foul on Galeno.[29]

Later career

[edit | edit source]

On 1 February 2021, shortly after agreeing to part ways with Wolverhampton,[30] Roderick moved to Gaziantep of the Turkish Süper Lig on a five-month deal.[31] On 1 October, he agreed to a two-year contract at Melbourne Victory.[32]

Roderick was appointed new team captain in October 2023, replacing the departed Joshua Brillante.[33]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Of Brazilian descent through his parents,[34] Roderick chose to represent Portugal internationally and went on to win 45 caps at youth level. He represented the under-20 team that finished as runners-up at the 2011 FIFA World Cup in Colombia, often partnering Sporting CP's Nuno Reis.[35][36]
