Club career

Rodax started his professional career at Admira Wacker and stayed with them for 7 years, becoming Austrian Football Bundesliga top goalscorer in 1990. That earned him a contract at Spanish side Atlético de Madrid, but he lasted only just over one season with them and returned to Austria to join Rapid Wien where he finished his career in 1993 at 28 years of age. In the 1995/1996 season he made a short comeback at Admira.
