Rodriguez is a powerful, dual footed midfielder who arrived at West Coast as one of WA’s most credentialed young prospects. A strong two-way runner and contested ball winner, he captained Western Australia in 2025, earning All Australian honours and the state’s MVP award before being selected with the first pick in the 2025 Rookie Draft. Despite an injury interrupted start to 2026 due to a preseason stress fracture, Rodriguez produced a strong WAFL campaign, averaging 15 disposals across 15 games and showcasing his versatility in a half back role. Highly regarded for his work ethic, leadership and commitment to improvement, Rodriguez continued to develop his game across the season and earned a contract extension through to the end of 2027.
