Javi Rodríguez, born on 26 June 2003 (age 23), is a Spanish right-back whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Celta Vigo. An imposing 6ft 5in (1.95m), he wears the No 20 shirt and brings unusual size to a position more often associated with smaller, sharper runners.
At Celta, he has built his record steadily rather than noisily. Across three league seasons he has made 76 league appearances and scored four goals, with 2024–25 his most productive campaign: 36 league appearances and three goals.
In 2026–27, Rodríguez has added seven LaLiga appearances and one goal, along with four Europa League appearances and two goals. That gives him 11 appearances and three goals in all competitions for Celta Vigo this season.
His career to this point is straightforward: a Spanish defender established at Celta Vigo, with his best work and main senior experience coming there.
