About José Rodríguez Martínez

Born 1994. José Rodríguez Martínez is a Spanish association football player.

Galatasaray Rodríguez signed for Galatasaray SK in the summer of 2015, after agreeing to a four-year contract. Unused in the Süper Lig opener at Sivasspor on 15 August, he made his debut nine days later by starting in a 1–2 loss to Osmanlıspor at the Türk Telekom Arena.

Mainz On 29 June 2016, Rodríguez moved to 1. FSV Mainz 05 on a four-year deal. He was sent off a mere five minutes into his German Bundesliga debut, after a dangerous challenge on FC Augsburg's Dominik Kohr in an eventual 1–3 home defeat.

On the very last day of the 2017 January transfer window, Rodríguez was loaned to Málaga CF until June. He was again ejected in his second appearance, being booked twice in an eventual 2–1 home win against UD Las Palmas.

Rodríguez left on loan for a third time in August 2018, joining Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard.

Málaga return On 18 August 2019, Rodríguez returned to Málaga after agreeing to a three-year contract. However, due to the club's financial problems, he was not registered for the first half of the campaign, and was subsequently loaned to fellow second-tier CF Fuenlabrada the following 30 January.

Maccabi Haifa Rodríguez returned to the Israeli Premier League on 10 September 2020, after he signed with Maccabi Haifa F.C. on a yearly salary of €270,000. On 1 March 2021, his cousin died in Spain aged 29 from COVID-19 complications, and it was decided that the team's players would wear black armbands in the next match in her memory. He scored the winning goal two days later, a powerful long-range volley in a 2–1 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv FC, which earned him praise from Israeli pundits

Union Saint-Gilloise Rodriguez joined Belgian Pro League side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in summer 2022. On 15 February 2023, he terminated his two-year contract by mutual consent.

International career Rodríguez captained Spain at the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Lithuania. In the semi-final against France, he scored a penalty kick to open a 2–1 defeat after extra time.
