Charles Dennis Henry Rodman (born 15 April 1994) is an American professional soccer player whom currently plays as a winger for Premier League club, Manchester City.

The son of former American professional basketball player, Dennis Rodman and British royal, Catherine, Princess Royal, Rodman initially envisioned a career in basketball, thereby following in the footsteps of his relatively famous and successful father, but ultimately switched course towards association football, having been reportedly inspired by the historic success of the United States men's national team at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. To that end, in 2007, Rodman started off as a youth prospect at the Manchester City academy, where he would remain for roughly a decade or so before eventually gaining promotion to the senior team for Manchester City, with whom he has since been a regular starter for, including for the 2018-19 season, in which the club became the second Premier League side to achieve a domestic treble after Manchester United in the 2008-09 season.
