Rodrigo Suárez Peña (born 7 March 1986), commonly known as Rodri, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

Rodrin was born in Utrera, Province of Seville. A product of Real Betis' academy,[1] he made his debut for the first team on 12 December 2007 by featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw at Elche CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (4–1 aggregate win).[2] His maiden Segunda División appearance came two years later against Córdoba CF,[3] and he played 23 matches during the season – only four complete – as the Andalusians finished in fourth position, thus failing to regain their La Liga status.[4]

In the last minutes of the 2011 January transfer window, Rodri was loaned to fellow second-tier club FC Cartagena until June.[5] After spending the following campaign with CD Guadalajara,[6] scoring his second and third goals in division two in wins over Córdoba (3–1 at home)[7] and Elche (3–2 away),[8] he retired at only 26 years of age.
