Roderick Briffa (born 24 August 1981, Birkirkara, Malta) is a professional footballer. He currently plays for the Maltese Premier League side Gżira United.
Roderick began his career with Maltese Premier League side Birkirkara, playing initially in the youth team, but making his debut during the 1998–99 season, Briffa only made one appearances that season, as Birkirkara went on to record a 2nd-place finish in Maltese Premier League.
The 1999–00 season, saw Roderick start to gain more first team opportunities with Birkirkara. He went on to make five appearances during the season, but failed to score. He did have his first taste of success as Birkirkara were crowned champions of the Maltese Premier League.
Briffa went into the 2000–01 season, hoping to try and force his way into the Birkirkara first team, however he was only used as a bit part player and only made one appearance with the club, as Birkirkara went on to finish in 3rd position in the Maltese Premier League.
The 2001–02 season saw Roderick still struggle to make his mark with Birkirkara, and by January, Briffa had only made 2 appearances with the club, this prompted a loan move away to play the remainder of the season with fellow Maltese Premier League side Pietà Hotspurs. Briffa went on to make 11 appearances and score one goal, which helped Pietà Hotspurs avoid the threat of relegation and record a 7th-place finish in the Maltese Premier League, his parent club Birkirkara finished the season in 3rd position.
