He is a younger brother of the footballer Héctor Rodríguez Peña.
Born in Montevideo, Rodríguez has played the majority of his club football for Peñarol, and Schalke 04. His other clubs include Sud América and Bella Vista and Toluca. He left Schalke 04 in January 2008 and returned to Peñarol.
With Uruguay, Rodríguez was a participant at the 2002 World Cup and scored Uruguay's first goal of the tournament, a volley that curled into the top left corner of the goal.[3][4] He occasionally wore the captain's captain's armband. He also played at the 2004[5] and 2007 Copa América tournaments.[6]
A versatile defender, he was capable of playing as a left-back or as a left-sided central defender. Strong in the air, he was a useful distraction in the opposition box at set pieces.[7]
