Nathan Christian Rôdes

Nathan Christian Rôdes is a Belgian midfielder born in Etterbeek on 11 December 1997. Standing 1.91 metres tall, he developed in the Brussels-area youth system of WS Woluwe before moving into senior football. Rôdes joined Dender on 1 July 2022 and has since become an important defensive presence in the club’s midfield. Operating centrally or in a holding role, he uses his size to compete in the air, protect the defence and help regain possession. He also contributes to buildup by offering a passing option from deep and moving the ball into midfield. During the 2024–25 season, Rôdes made 40 appearances for Dender, recording five goals and one assist. On 22 July 2024, he signed a contract extension with Dender, continuing a career that has developed from Brussels football into a prominent role with the club.
