Leonardo Gabriel Rolón (born 19 January 1995) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right winger or right full back for Arsenal Sarandí, on loan from Vélez Sarsfield.

Club career

Rolón played youth football and debuted professionally with Vélez Sarsfield in 2013, starting as right back in a 1–1 draw with All Boys.[1] He was an unused substitute in his team's victory over Arsenal de Sarandí in the 2013 Supercopa Argentina.

Rolón scored his first goal with Vélez in a 4–1 victory over Rosario Central for the 2014 Final, in which he started as right winger.[2] Upon Agustín Allione's departure from the club, Rolón saw more first team action as the team's right winger, playing 16 matches in the 2014 Argentine Primera División. In this tournament he also scored an olympic goal in the third fixture's 4–0 win over Independiente.

In July 2015, Rolón was sanctioned by Vélez with one week of salary after not showing to play for the reserve's team against Rosario Central. He was subsequently left out of the first team squad and loaned to Emelec in the Ecuadorian Serie A.[3]

International career

In 2015, Rolón was selected to play for the Argentina national under-20 football team in the South American Youth Championship.[4] He played six games (all as a starter) and scored once, helping his team to obtain the championship.[5]

Rolón also started in Argentina's three games in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Personal life

Leonardo's twin brother Maximiliano is also a professional footballer for FC Barcelona B. Leonardo and Maximiliano were also teammates in the Argentina national under-20 football team.
