Rodrigo Gimeno Molina (born 21 September 1979), commonly known as Rodri, is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.

He amassed Segunda División totals of 215 games and seven goals over the course of one full decade, representing four clubs.

Football career

Born in Valencia, Rodri started professionally with Albacete Balompié, but appeared very rarely with the first team, leaving precisely when it returned to La Liga in 2003 after a seven-year absence, to which he contributed by appearing in only six second division games.

Rodri subsequently established at CD Castellón, helping the club promote from the third level in his second year. Starting in 2007–08 he played three seasons with Hércules CF, in division two.

On 18 August 2010, after helping the Alicante side return to the top flight after a 13-year absence – 17 matches, but only six complete – Rodri moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the second level. In January 2013, aged 33, he rescinded his contract with the Catalans.
