Club career
=Portmore United=
Austin started his career at Portmore United in Jamaica, scoring six goals in 75 appearances whilst winning the two domestic league titles and the CFU Club Championship.
=Brann=
An attempt by Stoke City to bring Austin to the club failed in August 2008, when he was refused a work permit on appeal.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/stoke_city/7505072.stm|title=Austin's move to Stoke collapses|date=2 August 2008|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=3 August 2008}} Austin went on to sign a one-year loan deal with Brann, after an agreement was reached between Brann, Portmore United and Stoke. Stoke would have the option to buy the player until 1 February 2009, and if they opted not to buy the player, Brann would have the option to buy until 30 June.
Austin made his Brann debut in the 1–3 defeat against Bodø/Glimt on 31 August 2008, coming on as a substitute in the last 20 minutes. He debuted in European competition three weeks later with a 2–0 win against Deportivo de La Coruña in the UEFA Cup. Stoke didn't activate their option because Austin couldn't get a work permit in England, and on 27 February 2009, Austin signed a four-year deal with Brann in a transfer worth £1,000,000.
In January 2011, Austin was subject to a bid from Queens Park Rangers under manager Neil Warnock after a trial spell at the club, however Brann rejected the bid.{{cite news|url=http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-QPR-have-made-a-1-6million-bid-for-Norwegian-side-Brann-Bergen-s-Jamaica-striker-Rodolph-Austin-article664077.html|title=Austin's powers in demand at QPR|newspaper=Daily Mirror|date= 4 January 2011|access-date=4 January 2011}} After playing 25 matches and scoring seven goals during the 2011 season, Austin won the SK Brann Player of the Season award.
