Rayo Vallecano have signed central defender Sergio Rodriguez Garcia, known as Rodri, from Spartak Moscow.
The Madrid club’s official website confirmed that the 28-year-old arrives on a free transfer from the Russian outfit and will pen a two-year deal at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas.
The Spanish Under-20 international began his career in Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, making five first-team appearances for the Catalans before moving to Deportivo de La Coruna in 2006.
