Ilya Rodionov

Rodionov came through Zenit St Petersburg's academy and took his first senior minutes with the club's reserve side, Zenit-2, appearing once in the Second League in the 2020–2021 season before returning for a fuller campaign in 2022–2023, when he made 21 appearances and scored once. He made 17 First League appearances in the 2024–2025 season with two goals, adding one in the Russian Cup, before a January move took him to Rotor Volgograd on a contract running to the summer of 2028. He has since made seven appearances for Rotor in the First League.

Rodionov has also worked his way through Russia's youth setup. He was capped four times for the under-18s, scoring against Dynamo-SPb in March 2022, before stepping up to the under-21 team, where he scored on his debut in October 2024 in a 6–0 win over China. He found the net again the following year in a friendly against Uruguay's under-21s, represented by Club Nacional, and was called up for the games against Uzbekistan's under-21 side in June 2025.
