Juan Rodríguez Martínez (born 8 May 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Algeciras.[1] Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Cedeira, A Coruña, Galicia, Rodríguez joined Racing de Ferrol's youth setup in 2010, from hometown club Cedeira SD. He made his senior debut on 1 December 2012, coming on as a late substitute for Manu Barreiro in a 4–1 away routing of Narón BP in the Tercera División.

Rodríguez appeared only rarely for Racing in the following years, spending a full season with the reserves in the regional leagues. He left the club in 2014, and joined fourth tier side Arosa SC on 17 July of that year.[2]

After being an undisputed starter during the campaign, Rodríguez joined UD Somozas of the Segunda División B on 7 July 2015.[3] The following 24 June, he signed a two-year deal with another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B in the fourth division.[4]

Rodríguez made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 22 October 2016, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Granada CF.[5] Ahead of the 2018–19 season, he was definitely promoted to the main squad after agreeing to a new two-year contract.[6]

On 29 July 2019, Rodríguez agreed to a two-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the third division, after terminating his link with Sporting.[7] He left the club by mutual agreement on 24 August of the following year,[8] and agreed to a three-year deal with fellow league team San Fernando CD just hours later.[9]

On 19 August 2022, Rodríguez joined SD Amorebieta in Primera Federación.[10] He featured in 25 matches during the campaign, as the club returned to Segunda División at first attempt.
