Fernando Rodríguez Ortega (born 11 May 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Tercera Federación club Real Jaén.

Club career[edit]

Born in Pilas, Province of Seville, Rodríguez spent the vast majority of his career in the Spanish lower leagues. His professional input in his country consisted of two La Liga matches with Sevilla, as well as 16 in the Segunda División with their reserves. He made his debut in the former competition on 19 October 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Lautaro Acosta in a 1–0 away win against Almería where he was also booked.[1]

Rodríguez scored a career-best 18 goals in the 2013–14 season (adding two in the Copa del Rey) to help Cartagena to qualify for the promotion play-offs of Segunda División B, where they eventually fell short. In 2016, with the team still in that league, he returned for a second spell.[2]

In January 2017, the 29-year-old Rodríguez moved abroad for the first time, signing with Ceres–Negros of the Philippines Football League[3] and being officially announced on the 17th.[4] One year later, he switched to the Liga 1 with Mitra Kukar.[5]

On 28 November 2018, Rodríguez joined Malaysia Super League club Kedah Darul Aman.[6] On 8 January 2020 he joined Johor Darul Ta'zim II, a reserve team who competed in the country's second tier.[7]

In November 2023, Rodríguez returned to Real Jaén (now in the Tercera Federación) from Indonesian top-flight Persis Solo, with the deal being effective when the winter transfer window opened.[8]
