Club career
OFK Beograd
Rodić played his first professional match for OFK Beograd on 26 April 2009, against FK Partizan at the age of 18. Almost two years later, on 25 April 2012, he was named left-back in Sportal's ideal team of Round 26 in the 2011–12 Serbian SuperLiga.[1]
Zenit St. Petersburg
On January 31, 2013, Rodić signed a contract with Zenit St. Petersburg. On February 21, 2013, coach Luciano Spalletti deployed Rodić in the 85th minute as a substitute for Sergei Semak against Liverpool in the 2012-13 UEFA Europa League.[2] However, Rodić ended up playing only five matches for Zenit before being loaned out to FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod and Zenit's reserve team, after which he transferred to Krylia Sovetov.[3]
Krylia Sovetov
In August 2015, Rodić signed with Krylia Sovetov. Over the course of two seasons, Rodić got back into competitive shape.[3] After two years with Krylia Sovetov, Rodić thanked the fans and commented that he was happy to play for Krylia, but that he missed his family in Serbia.[3]
Red Star Belgrade
On July 21, 2017, Rodić signed a three-year contract with Serbian side Red Star Belgrade.[4] Red Star had paid approximately €250,000 to Krylia Sovetov for Rodić's transfer.[3]
International career
On June 6, 2011, Rodić made his debut with the Serbia national under-21 football team against Sweden's U-21 team. Five years later, Rodić got his first call up to the senior Serbia squad for a friendly match against Russia on June 5, 2016.[5]
In May 2018 he was named in Serbia’s preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[6] On 4 June, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Chile, coming on as a substitute for Aleksandar Kolarov in the 80th minute.[7]
