Oscar Adrian Rojas Castillon is a professional footballer from Mexico who plays as a defender. A wonderfully gifted player, Rojas can play with either feet making him an extremely potent right or left wing back. A student at the Club America youth academy, Rojas was named to the first team squad in 2001. Showing much promise, the youngster played his first game in the Invierno 2001.

However, Rojas only played 2 games that season and despite all the promise, he ended two seasons at Club America with just 5 appearances to his name. A member of the 2001 CONCACAF Giants Cup winning team as well as the 2002 Verano or Mexican championship winning team, Rojas was transferred to San Luis FC.

A step down from Club America, San Luis was perfect for Rojas to show his talent and he did. Rojas became a regular member of the starting lineup and from 2002 to 2004, was a regular fixture in the team until they were relegated. At the 2004 Apertura tournament, Rojas decided to return to Club America and moved swiftly into the starting lineup. He won the 2005 Clausura tournament with Club America before winning the Mexican Super Cup in the same year.

The following year, Rojas would help the team win the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup on the way to notching up almost 150 appearances. Rojas is, today, an integral part of the Club America lineup and is considered one of the most versatile players in the league.
