Edipo Antonio Rodríguez Encarnación (born 27 June 1993), simply known as Edipo, is a Dominican footballer who plays for Spanish club CD San José, and the Dominican Republic national team as a right winger. He also holds Spanish citizenship.

Club career

Born in Barahona, Edipo moved to Soria in 1999, aged six,[1] and started playing for lowly CD Calasanz five years later. In March 2008 he went on a trial at Real Valladolid, but nothing came of it.[2]

In the 2009 summer Edipo joined CD Numancia, after a stint at Club Internacional de la Amistad.[3] In 2011 he made his senior debuts, appearing for the former's reserve team in Tercera División.

On 15 February 2015 Edipo played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second half substitute for Mickaël Gaffoor in a 2–1 away win against SD Ponferradina for the Segunda División championship.[4] On 11 July he was loaned to Segunda División B side CD Guadalajara, in a season-long deal.[5]

In May 2016, after being sparingly used by Guadalajara, Edipo joined Club Atlético San Cristóbal in his homeland.

International career

On 18 August 2014 Edipo was called up to Dominican Republic national team for a friendly against El Salvador.[6] He made his international debut late in the month, starting in a 0–2 loss.[7]
