Rodney Sneijder (born 31 March 1991) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a midfielder for Tweede Klasse club De Meern.
He has previously played for AFC Ajax, FC Utrecht, RKC Waalwijk, Almere City in the Netherlands and for Scottish side Dundee United.
"[4][5] He was elevated to the senior squad at 19 years of age in January 2011 and a month later signed a professional contract with the club to extend his stay at Ajax until at least 2013.
[7] Sneijder had several clubs interested in him during the 2011 summer transfer window but chose to sign for FC Utrecht on a season long loan.
[17] He made his 20th and last Eredivisie appearance for Utrecht in the final game of the season, another 3–1 victory over Roda JC, when he was substituted in the 85th minute for Gevero Markiet.
[18] Despite featuring regularly in the first team squad, making twenty-three appearances and scoring three times, Sneijder was for tactical reasons often a substitute rather than in the starting lineup.
[30] Although recovered from a hamstring injury, there was a chance for Sneijder to return to the first team in the final game of the season, but wasn't included in the squad.
[34] After his contract with RKC Waalwijk had been dissolved on 1 February 2014, Sneijder signed with Eerste Divisie side Almere City until the end of the season.
[41] In the winter transfer window, Sneijder asked the club to terminate his contract with Almere City, to proceed joining Galatasaray.
[44] After leaving Almere City, Sneijder went on trial at Scottish Premiership side Dundee United, where he played in a friendly match against AZ Alkmaar.
[50] On 27 March 2024, Sneijder agreed to join De Meern, who were relegated to the Tweede Klasse ahead of his arrival in July 2024.
[58] During an interview in a radio station in Thessaloniki, Rodney confirmed that he and Wesley Sneijder (along with their other brother Jeffrey) have part-Greek descent, since their grandmother (their father's mother) was a Greek woman born in Kavala, Macedonia, Greece and moved to Utrecht before World War II.
