Club career edit

Early career edit

Rodelin began his youth and senior career at Rodez. During the 2007–08 season, he scored 1 goal in 23 Championnat National matches. In July 2008 he signed for Ligue 1 club Nantes.[1] On 28 January 2010, Championnat National club Troyes signed him on loan from Nantes until the end of the 2009–10 season.[2] He played the 2010–11 season in Ligue 2 with Nantes, making 19 appearances (15 of them in Ligue 2) and scoring 5 goals (all of them scored in Ligue 2) in all competitions.[3]

Lille edit

On 13 June 2011, he signed a four-year contract to join Ligue 1 club Lille.[4] On 6 August 2011, he made his competitive debut for Lille, coming on as a substitute for Florent Balmont in the 87th minute in the Ligue 1 away match against AS Nancy which ended in a 1–1 draw.[3]

Mouscron-Péruwelz (loan) edit

On 2 February 2015, Rodelin was loaned to Belgian Pro League club Mouscron-Péruwelz.[5]

Caen (loan) edit

On 31 August 2015, Rodelin joined Ligue 1 club Stade Malherbe Caen on a year-long loan, with Caen given an option to buy him.[6][7][8] On 12 September 2015, he made his competitive debut for Caen, starting in the Ligue 1 away match against Troyes AC which Caen won 3–1. He played in all of Caen's remaining 33 (starting in 32 of them) Ligue 1 matches of the 2015–16 season. He was Caen's second-highest scorer (behind Andy Delort) during the 2015–16 season with 10 goals (all of them scored in Ligue 1) and 2 assists in all competitions.[3][9]

Caen edit

On 26 July 2016, Caen activated the clause to permanently sign Rodelin; he signed a three-year contract with Caen.[8][9] On 20 May 2017, the last matchday of the 2016–17 Ligue 1 season, Rodelin scored the goal (his 9th and final Ligue 1 goal of the 2016–17 season) that ensured Caen remained in Ligue 1 for the 2017–18 season. With Caen needing a win against 2016–17 Ligue 1 runners-up Paris Saint-Germain to be sure of avoiding relegation, Rodelin had a penalty saved in the second half when Caen was down 1–0 before eventually finding the equalizer a minute into added time; the final score was 1–1.[10][11]

Guingamp edit

In August 2018, Rodelin joined league rivals En Avant de Guingamp.[12][13]

Servette edit

On 6 July 2021, he moved to Servette in Switzerland on a two-year contract.[14] He made his competitive debut on 25 July in a 2–1 league win away over FC Sion, coming on as a substitute for Kastriot Imeri in the 58th minute.[15] His first goal came on 22 August, scoring the final goal of a 4–1 win over FC Luzern, less than 30 seconds after coming off the bench.[16]

International career edit

Born in Réunion, Rodelin is of Malagasy descent and was approached to join the Madagascar national team in March 2018.[17]
