Rodney Strasser (born 30 March 1990) is a Sierra Leonean professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.[2]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

AC Milan

[edit | edit source]

Born in Freetown, Strasser began his career at local club Kallon, before moving to Italy to join AC Milan in 2007.[3] During his time in Milan's youth system, he was a member of the under-20 side, who won the 2009–10 Coppa Italia Primavera.[4] He made his first-team debut on 21 December 2008, in a 5–1 win against Udinese, coming on as a substitute for Kakha Kaladze in the 82nd minute.[5][6]

Genoa

[edit | edit source]

On 20 July 2010, Milan announced that half of the rights to Strasser had been purchased by Genoa for €2.25 million,[7] as part of the deal that saw defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos move to Milan.[8] Strasser, however, would stay at Milan on loan,[9] joining the first-team squad permanently. His first appearance of the season was in a UEFA Champions League group stage 2–0 win against Auxerre – which also marked his debut in European club competition – on 23 November.[10] He went on to score his first professional goal in a 1–0 league win over Cagliari, on 6 January.[11]

Milan return

[edit | edit source]

In May 2011, his co-ownership was dissolved in favour of Milan for the same price and renewed his contract to June 2016.[12][13] (with Papastathopoulos moved back to Genoa),[14] but Strasser subsequently joined Lecce on loan.[15] He appeared in 13 games and scored one goal for his new team, before suffering a broken ankle in a game against Juventus on 9 January and subsequently being called back to Milan to undergo rehabilitation.[16] He made his return on 10 April, coming on as a substitute in the second half of a game against Chievo, which Milan won 1–0.[17] At the start of the following season, Strasser sustained another injury which would rule him out for three months.[18] After recovering he struggled to get playing time, making only one Coppa Italia appearance before being loaned out to Parma during the January transfer window.[19]

Genoa return

[edit | edit source]

On 27 July 2013, Strasser joined Genoa on a permanent deal for €3.5 million, as part of Kévin Constant's co-ownership resolution in favour of Milan for €6 million.[20] Strasser was loaned out to Serie B team Reggina in August 2013.[21] As of January 2019, Strasser played for the Serie D team Villafranca.[1]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Strasser made his international debut for the Sierra Leone national team on 5 September 2010, in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification game against Egypt.[3][22]
