Club career
editBorn in Seville, Andalusia, Rojas was a youth product at Atlético Madrid, making his senior debuts with the reserves in 2006 and going on to appear with several Tercera División and Segunda División B clubs during his early years. In the 2009 summer he joined Real Murcia, but appeared only with the B-team.
Rojas continued to appear in the third level in the following seasons, representing Real Jaén,[1] CD San Roque de Lepe,[2] La Roda CF[3] and Albacete Balompié.[4] With the latter he achieved promotion to Segunda División, appearing in 37 matches and scoring four goals.
On 24 August 2014, aged 27, Rojas played his first match as a professional, starting in a 2–3 home loss against AD Alcorcón.[5] On 9 January, after appearing sparingly, he rescinded his link,[6] and signed for SD Huesca hours later.[7]
