Having started his professional career at
Benfica, he made 103
Primeira Liga appearances mainly for
Rio Ave as well as
Famalicão. He also played in Switzerland, Spain, England, Greece, Turkey and Australia.
In one of only two league matches in the
2012–13 campaign, Roderick came on away to Porto in the penultimate round of fixtures, with both teams competing for the title; he was marking
Kelvin, who scored the added-time winner.[13][14] He said years later that manager
Jorge Jesus did not blame him for the defeat.[15]
Rio Ave
Roderick was released by Benfica in August 2013, signing a five-year deal with
Rio Ave.[16] In January 2015, he suffered an
Achilles tendon injury against
Gil Vicente, and was ruled out for the rest of
the season.[17]
On 18 March 2016, nearing his 25th birthday, Roderick scored his first senior goal, a header that was the only one in a home game with
Marítimo.[18] He netted three times in 33 games in
the following campaign,[19][20][21] helping to a seventh-place finish.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
On 13 June 2017, Roderick joined English
Championship team
Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[22] He made his debut on 5 August, playing the whole of a 1–0 home victory over
Middlesbrough.[23]
Roderick continued in the league team for 14 matches, before falling out of favour with manager
Nuno Espírito Santo.[24] He finished
the season with 19 appearances in all competitions,[25] as Wolves were promoted as champions.[26]
On 11 July 2018, Roderick joined
Super League Greece club
Olympiacos on a
season-long loan.[27] On 1 September 2019, he moved to
Famalicão, newly promoted to the Portuguese top division, again on loan.[28] He played regularly as the team
finished sixth, scoring two goals, and was
sent off in the 34th minute of a 2–2 draw at nearby
Braga on 3 November for a foul on
Galeno.[29]
Later career
On 1 February 2021, shortly after agreeing to part ways with Wolverhampton,[30] Roderick moved to
Gaziantep of the Turkish
Süper Lig on a five-month deal.[31] On 1 October, he agreed to a two-year contract at
Melbourne Victory.[32]
