Club career

edit

Benfica

Born in Odivelas, Roderick arrived in Benfica's youth academy in 2000 (aged nine), from Lisbon neighbours Odivelas.[4] 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.[5][6] 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.[7]

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.[8] For 2011–12, he was loaned to Servette in Switzerland – coached by former Benfica player João Alves – in a season-long move.[9]

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;[10] he returned to the Estádio da Luz in the following transfer window.[11]

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.[12][13] He said years later that manager Jorge Jesus did not blame him for the defeat.[14]

Rio Ave

edit

Roderick was released by Benfica in August 2013, signing a five-year deal with Rio Ave.[15] In January 2015, he suffered an Achilles tendon injury against Gil Vicente, and was ruled out for the rest of the season.[16]

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.[17] He netted three times in 33 games in the following campaign,[18][19][20] helping to a seventh-place finish.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

edit

On 13 June 2017, Roderick joined English Championship team Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[21] He made his debut on 5 August, playing the whole of a 1–0 home victory over Middlesbrough.[22]

Roderick continued in the league team for 14 matches, before falling out of favour with manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[23] He finished the season with 19 appearances in all competitions,[24] as Wolves were promoted as champions.[25]

On 11 July 2018, Roderick joined Super League Greece club Olympiacos on a season-long loan.[26] On 1 September 2019, he moved to Famalicão, newly promoted to the Portuguese top division, again on loan.[27] 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.[28]

Later career

edit

On 1 February 2021, shortly after agreeing to part ways with Wolverhampton,[29] Roderick moved to Gaziantep of the Turkish Süper Lig on a five-month deal.[30] On 1 October, he agreed to a two-year contract at Melbourne Victory.[31]

Roderick was appointed new team captain in October 2023, replacing the departed Joshua Brillante.[32]

International career

edit

Of Brazilian descent through his parents,[33] 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.[34][35]
