Miguel Rodríguez Vidal

Born in Redondela, Pontevedra, Galicia, Rodríguez joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2013, from CD Choco. In 2020, before even having appeared for the reserves, he was called up to make the pre-season with the main squad. Rodríguez made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 4 October 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Nolito in a 0–2 away loss to CA Osasuna; aged 17 years and 159 days, he became the fourth-youngest to debut for the club, behind Sansón (the second-youngest of the league's history), Iago Bouzón and Santi Mina. He scored his first professional goal on 7 April 2023, netting his team's first in a 2–2 away draw against Sevilla FC. On 5 July 2024, Rodríguez was loaned to Dutch Eredivisie side FC Utrecht for the 2024–25 season. On 15 April 2025, the purchase option in his loan contract was exercised. He will officially join the club in the summer. On 27 July 2026, Rodríguez returned to Spain and its top tier, signing a five-year deal with Deportivo Alavés.
