Benjamín Ignacio Rojas Ferrera (born 1 March 2001) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a right-back or centre-back for O'Higgins.
Born in Providencia, Santiago de Chile, Rojas is a product of Palestino[2] and made his professional debut in the 1–4 loss against Universidad Católica for the Chilean Primera División on 8 November 2020.[3] In 2021, he was loaned out to Barnechea.[4] Having taken part in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana with Palestino, he ended his contract with them in December 2024.[5]
In February 2025, Rojas moved abroad and signed with Ekstraklasa club Pogoń Szczecin on a deal until the end of the 2024–25 season with an option to extend his contract for a year.[6][7] He became the second Chilean player to join Pogoń after Sebastián Rodríguez, who made three appearances in the 2002–03 season.[8][3] He made four appearances for Pogoń's reserve team before being released at the end of the season.[9]
Following Pogoń Szczecin, Rojas moved to Portugal and signed with Liga Portugal 2 side Académico de Viseu on a deal for a season.[10] However, six months later, after making 6 appearances for the club, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.[11]
Back to Chile, Rojas joined O'Higgins on 12 January 2026.[12]
