Rodić was born in Kozarska Dubica, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia.
On transfer deadline day in January 2005, Rodić signed for English club Portsmouth, making his debut for Pompey as an 81st minute substitute for Patrik Berger in a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough. However, he failed to hold down a regular place in the team and the following season (2005–06) he was loaned to Turkish club Kayserispor. Rodić was released in the summer of 2006 and signed by Bulgarian club Litex Lovech to partner Milivoje Novakovič, another Slovenian international and Litex attacker. In 2007 he moved to Interblock for 200,000 euros.[2][3] On 13 March 2009, Rodić was loaned out to Shanghai Shenhua of the Chinese Super League.[1] In February 2010, he was loaned to another Chinese Super League club Qingdao Jonoon.[2]
Rodić played as a striker for Slovenian club NK Gorica, helping them to several league titles. His performances for the club earned him caps for the Slovenian national team.
