On 4 January 2014, it was announced Roddan had joined League Two side Accrington Stanley for an initial month loan.[9][10] Unfortunately the loan was cut short before Roddan had made a first team appearance after he suffered an injury in training.

Sligo Rovers

On 27 January 2016 he signed for League of Ireland team Sligo Rovers.[16] Upon joining the club, Roddan stated the move to Sligo Rovers was to suit his playing style.[17]

Roddan made his Sligo Rovers debut in the opening game of the season against Shamrock Rovers, but was sent-off in the 75th minutes after a second bookable offence, in a 2–0 loss.[18] After serving a suspension, Roddan captained his first match as a Sligo Rovers player and went on to draw 1–1 against St Patrick's Athletic on 8 April 2016.[19]
