Gabriel Hernán Rojas (born 22 June 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Racing Club de Avellaneda in the Argentine Primera División.[2][4]

Club career

Rojas had youth periods with Club Arzeno and Atletico Pueyrredón, prior to joining San Lorenzo in 2005.[1][5] His senior career got underway with Argentine Primera División side San Lorenzo in 2016.[2][6] He made his first-team debut on 17 November 2016 during a Copa Argentina defeat to Gimnasia y Esgrima, which was followed by his first Primera División appearance on 25 March 2017 against Quilmes.[2][7] Overall, Rojas made eighteen appearances in his first campaign with San Lorenzo.[2][8][9] In July 2019, Rojas departed on loan to Uruguay with Peñarol.[2] After debuting in a win over Danubio, he appeared twenty-three times in twelve months there.[2] On April 9, 2021, Rojas scored a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the 18 yard box in the 75th minute against Platense to put San Lorenzo 3-2 up. Many journalists stated that it could well be the next FIFA Puskás Award winning goal.

International career

Rojas represented Argentina at U20 at the 2016 COTIF Tournament in Spain.[10][11] He won three caps, versus Qatar, Venezuela and Spain respectively.[12][13][14]
