On 31 January 2013, Rodić signed a contract with Zenit Saint Petersburg. On 21 February 2013, coach Luciano Spalletti deployed Rodić in the 85th minute as a substitute for Sergei Semak against Liverpool in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.[3] However, Rodić ended up playing only five matches for Zenit before being loaned out to FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod and Zenit's reserve team, after which he transferred to Krylia Sovetov.[4]
Krylia Sovetov
In August 2015, Rodić signed with Krylia Sovetov. Over the course of two seasons, Rodić got back into competitive shape.[4] After two years with Krylia Sovetov, Rodić thanked the fans and commented that he was happy to play for Krylia, but that he missed his family in Serbia.[4]
Red Star Belgrade
On 21 July 2017, Rodić signed a three-year contract with Serbian side Red Star Belgrade.[5] Red Star had paid approximately €250,000 to Krylia Sovetov for Rodić's transfer.[4] He played in Red Star's 2017–18 UEFA Europa League campaign under coach Vladan Milojević. On 19 October 2017, Rodić got a red card in the Group H home match against Arsenal, which Red Star lost 1–0.[6] On 12 March 2019, he extended his contract with Red Star to the summer of 2022.[7]
FC Zürich
In July 2025, Rodić signed for Swiss Super League club FC Zürich.[8] He was released by the club in January 2026.[9]
International career
On 6 June 2011, Rodić made his debut with the Serbia national under-21 football team against Sweden's U-21 team. Five years later, Rodić got his first call up to the senior Serbia squad for a friendly match against Russia on 5 June 2016.[10]
In May 2018 he was named in Serbia's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[11] On 4 June, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Chile, coming on as a substitute for Aleksandar Kolarov in the 80th minute.[12]
Rodić was selected in Serbia’s squad for the 2018 World Cup,[13] but he failed to make any appearances there.
