Career edit

Born and brought up in Glasgow, Roddie joined Aberdeen as a 16-year-old and spent seven years at Pittodrie before signing for Motherwell in 1994 under the management of former teammate Alex McLeish.[4] Failing to score in two and a half seasons at the Lanarkshire club, Roddie left for Notts County and began a peripatetic career which took in Sweden, Hong Kong, Northern Ireland and Iceland as well as further spells in Scotland and England. He finished his career in the Highland League with Inverurie Loco Works.

After retirement, Roddie became involved in youth football in the North East of Scotland founding Kintore United.[5] He joined the coaching staff at Colony Park in August 2012 as co-manager before assuming sole responsibility in January 2014.[6][7]
