Club career

Barcelona

Born in

Atlético Luján. In 2007, he joined FC Barcelona's youth setup, but only moved to La Masia three years later.[1] In 2013, he was loaned to UE Cornellà due to his non-EU status, and returned to Barça the following January, being assigned to the Juvenil A squad.[2]

In May 2014 Rolón was promoted to

the reserves in Segunda División.[3] After being strongly linked to a possible loan move to Lleida Esportiu in August,[4] he remained at the club and made his debut as a professional on 4 October, replacing Juan Cámara in the 74th minute of a 0–1 home loss against CD Lugo.[5]

On 20 September 2015, with the team now in Segunda División B, Rolón scored his first senior goal, the game's only away to UE Olot for a first victory of the season.[6] On 1 February of the following year, he rescinded his contract.[7]

Santos

On 16 February 2016, Rolón agreed to a one-year deal with Brazilian club Santos FC.[8] He only signed his contract on 4 March, due to bureaucratic problems.[9]

Rolón made his debut for the club on 21 April 2016, coming on as a late substitute for Rafael Longuine in a 1–1 away draw against Santos-AP.[10] On 6 July, after receiving very little playing time, he rescinded his contract.[11]

Later career

On 31 January 2017, Rolón returned to Spain and its second level, after signing a six-month deal with Lugo.[12] After only two games played, he left the club again at the end of his contract in June 2017.[13]

Rolón arrived in the Argentine Primera División for the first time in August 2017, signing for Arsenal de Sarandí.[14] The following February, he signed for Coquimbo Unido in Primera B de Chile.[15]

Released by his Chilean club in August 2018, Rolón returned to Spain and joined CE Pubilla Casas of the Segona Catalana in November.[16] He played two games for the club, scoring three goals, one of them a penalty.[17]

In January 2019, Rolón went back to South America, joining

Iraqi Premier League.[20]

At the time of his death in 2022, Rolón was playing amateur football in Casilda, Santa Fe Province.[21]

International career

Rolón was called up for the Argentina under-20 team in August 2014, for the year's L'Alcúdia International Football Tournament.[22] He appeared regularly during the tournament, also playing against Barcelona in one of the matches.[23]

Rolón was part of the team that won the 2015 South American U-20 Championship in Uruguay. He scored the opening goal of a 2–0 win over Brazil on 1 February.[24]

Personal life and death

Rolón's twin brother, Leonardo, is also a footballer. A right back or right winger, he was a teammate at Arsenal de Sarandí.[2]

Rolón and his 30-year-old brother, Ariel, died when their car collided with a tree in Casilda on the morning of 14 May 2022.[21]
