In June 2014, after a one-year spell at RCD Espanyol, Rodri joined FC Barcelona's La Masia.

Rodri made his senior debut with the reserves on 26 August 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 Tercera División home win against Conil CF. He scored his first senior goal on 7 October, netting the third in a 8–0 home routing of CD Gerena, and renewed his contract until 2022 the following 27 March.
