Club career

Rodrigues joined Ferroviária for a third spell in 2013 and was appointed captain of the team. She led the "Guerreiras Grenás" to the 2014 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino and 2015 Copa Libertadores Femenina titles.[2]

In January 2018, Rodrigues was announced as the second ever signing for S.L. Benfica's newly-formed women's football team, following her compatriot Dani Neuhaus.[3]

International career

As an unattached player at club level Rodrigues was part of the Brazil under-20 selection at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in 2006.[4] She was named to the tournament All-Star Team.[5] In March 2012, national coach Jorge Barcellos named Rodrigues in a 33-player preliminary Brazil squad for the London 2012 Olympics.[6]

Alongside four other uncapped players, Vadão called up 31-year-old Rodrigues for two friendlies against Chile in November 2017.[7] She made substitute appearances in both games[8] to win her first senior caps for Brazil.
