Ángel Rafael Rojas Martínez (born 20 October 1997) is a Chilean footballer who plays as a defender. He last played for Rodelindo Román.

Career[edit]

A left-footed defender,[2] Rojas came to the Colo-Colo youth system at the age of fifteen[3] and made his debut with the B-team in the 2013–14 Segunda División Profesional.[4] As a member of the under-19 team, he won both the national championship (Apertura) and the champions cup in July and December 2017, respectively, alongside players such as Omar Carabalí, Iván Morales, Branco Provoste, among others.[5][6] Promoted to the first team by the coach José Luis Sierra, he was a member of the squad that won both the 2017 Transición and the 2017 Supercopa de Chile.[3]

In 2018, he was loaned to Malleco Unido, making twenty two appearances with two goals.[7][8][9] After having no chances at his return to Colo-Colo, he switched to San Antonio Unido in 2019.[10]

In the second half of 2019, he moved abroad and signed with Portuguese club AD Oliveirense, thanks to Manuel Crespo, a former coach of the Colo-Colo youth ranks.[11][3][12]

Back in Chile, he spent three seasons with Rodelindo Román from 2020[4] to 2022 until the club was relegated to the amateur football for the 2023 season.[13]
