During the summer of 2011, Diego signed for ambitious Málaga CF in Spanish La Liga and was registered for its B-side.[2] In his two seasons with Atlético Malagueño he was a regular starter for the club appearing in 42 matches and scoring 5 goals.

In January 2014, he returned to his country to play for Juventud de Las Piedras. On January 14, 2015 he was transferred on a one-year loan to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[3] In December 2015, Vancouver announced that Rodriguez had returned to Juventud.[4]
