Club career

Benfica

Born in Odivelas, Roderick arrived in Benfica's youth academy in 2000 (aged nine), from Lisbon neighbours Odivelas. He was promoted to the first team nine years later after having played in all the youth ranks of the Primeira Liga giants, and appeared in some pre-season and Taça da Liga matches in his debut campaign.

For 2011–12, Roderick was loaned to Servette in Switzerland – coached by former Benfica player João Alves – in a season-long move.[3] On 31 July 2012 he joined Deportivo de La Coruña in La Liga, in the same situation; he returned to the Estádio da Luz in the following transfer window, however.[4]

Rio Ave

Roderick was released by Benfica in August 2013, signing a five-year deal with Rio Ave.[5] He scored three goals in 33 games in his fourth season,[6][7][8] helping to a seventh-place finish.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

On 13 June 2017, Roderick joined English Championship team Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[9] He made his debut on 5 August, playing the whole of a 1–0 home win against Middlesbrough.[10]

Roderick continued in the league team for 14 matches, before falling out of favour with manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[11] He finished the season with 19 appearances in all competitions,[12] as Wolves were promoted as champions.[13]

On 11 July 2018, Roderick joined Greek Superleague club Olympiacos on a season-long loan.[14] On 1 September 2019, in the same situation, he moved to newly promoted Famalicão.[15]

International career

Of Brazilian descent,[16] Roderick chose to represent Portugal internationally and went on to win 45 caps all youth categories comprised. He represented the under-20 team at the 2011 FIFA World Cup in Colombia, often partnering Sporting CP's Nuno Reis in an eventual runner-up finish.[17]
