Bradford City
Rodney left Forest and signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in July 2011.[3] In October 2011, he was given a one-month loan spell at Conference side Darlington to gain first-team experience,[citation needed] before moving to Mansfield Town on loan in November 2011.[4]
Lincoln City
On 31 January 2012 Rodney signed for Conference National club Lincoln City, until the end of the season.[5]

Non-league
After Rodney's release from Hartlepool, he signed for Greyhounders of the Grantham and District Saturday League in December 2014.
