Denis Emanuel Rodríguez (born 21 March 1996) is an Argentine footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Amora.[2]
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Rodríguez is a youth exponent from hometown club Newell's Old Boys. He made his Argentine Primera División on 12 July 2015 against Racing Club de Avellaneda in a 3–0 home win.[3] On 28 September he scored his first goal in a 2–0 win at Estudiantes de La Plata.[4]
In July 2018, Rodríguez was loaned for a year to Club Atlético Belgrano for a net fee of US$50,000, with the option to purchase 50% of his economic rights for around $2.12 million.[5] Halfway through his loan to the club from Córdoba, having played only eight games, his deal was rescinded by new manager Diego Osella.[6]
During a training session in late August 2020, Rodríguez suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, an injury that was estimated to keep him out for 6–8 months.[7] While recovering from his injury, in June 2021 Rodríguez was involved in a road accident after colliding with a police motorcycle. The police motorcycle involved was in pursuit of a third party before colliding with Rodríguez's car.[8] As of February 2022, he had still not returned to play for Newell's.
On 22 August 2022, Rodríguez signed for Portuguese Liga 3 side Amora.[9]
