Club career

Rojas' first club in his career was Cerro Porteño.[2][4] He made his debut for the Paraguayan Primera División club in March 2014 during a defeat to Nacional.[2] A year later, Rojas netted his first senior goal on 13 March 2015 as Cerro Porteño beat Deportivo Capiatá 3–2 at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco.[2] One further goal, against Sportivo Luqueño, followed as Rojas featured thirty-four times across 2015 and 2016.[2] On 10 January 2017, Rojas was loaned to Lanús of the Argentine Primera División.[2][5][6] He remained for seventeen months, making eighteen appearances and scoring once; in the Copa Argentina.[2]

Rojas arrived back to Cerro Porteño on 30 June 2018, but returned to Argentina on loan weeks later after agreeing to join fellow Argentine Primera División side Defensa y Justicia.[2][7][8] He scored on his first start, netting an equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Belgrano.[2] Rojas departed Cerro Porteño permanently in June 2019, staying in Argentina after signing terms with Racing Club of the Primera División.[1]

International career

On 2 March 2019, Rojas received a call-up to the Paraguay national team from Eduardo Berizzo ahead of that month's friendlies with Peru and Mexico.[9][10] He made his debut on 22 March in the game against Peru, as a 66th-minute substitute for Cecilio Domínguez.[11] Berizzo subsequently selected Rojas in his preliminary squad for the 2019 Copa América on 13 May, before making the official tournament squad on 29 May.[12][13]
