A product of Universidad Católica, Rojas took part of the Chile under-17 squad in the 1993 FIFA World Championship [2] at the age of fifteen, where they reached the third place. [3] Due to this achievement, the players were given some state benefits in education and housing. [4]

He stayed with Universidad Católica until 1997 and switched to Magallanes in the same year. The next year, he moved to Mexico and joined Querétaro. [5]

Back in Chile, he played for San Luis de Quillota and Ñublense in 1999 and 2000, respectively. [5] In Ñublense, he coincided with Nelson Garrido  [ es ] and Carlos Torres  [ es ], both former fellows in Chile U17.
