Rodrigo Hernández Cascante (born 22 June 1996), commonly known as Rodri, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Villarreal CF as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Rodri joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2007, aged 11. Released in 2013 due to the "lack of physical strength", he subsequently moved to Villarreal CF.[1][2]

On 7 February 2015, while still a junior, Rodri made his senior debut for the reserves, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 away win against RCD Espanyol B.[3] He was handed his first start fifteen days later, in a 2–0 win at Real Zaragoza B.

On 17 December 2015 Rodri made his first team debut, starting in a 2–0 Copa del Rey home win against SD Huesca.[4] He made his La Liga debut on 17 April of the following year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Denis Suárez in a 1–2 away loss against Rayo Vallecano.
