Club career
[edit]Rondo was born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands. An unsuccessful RCD Mallorca youth graduate – he could only appear for their reserves – he would manage to spend seven seasons in the second division, with Getafe CF, Elche CF and UD Vecindario; his first experience at that level was precisely with Mallorca B, in 1998–99 (31 matches played, team relegation).
After a one-year spell with CD Constancia (division four, also in Majorca),[1] Rondo signed with neighbours CE Andratx of the same tier.[2]
International career
[edit]Spanish-born, Rondo would however represent the land of one of his parents, Equatorial Guinea, in the molds of several players whom played in Spain: Javier Balboa, Rodolfo Bodipo, Benjamín Zarandona, etc.[3]
