Rodriguez, who spent most of his career playing in Spain, made his first move out of Spain, when he joined Indonesian Champions Persib Bandung.

He was also named in the Indonesian Liga 1 team of the season.

He will replace Brendan Hamill in the squad and will be the Fifth foreigner of the season alongside Jamie Maclaren, Dimi Petratos, Jason Cummings and Tom Aldred.
