'Kiwi Messi' Rojas lighting up A-League again
Melbourne Victory star Marco Rojas (Getty Images)Marco Rojas left the A-League as the 'Kiwi Messi'. He has returned just as good for Melbourne Victory.
Rojas, 25, returned to Australia after a frustrating spell in Europe, including stints at three different clubs in three seasons.
The attacker scored 15 goals in 27 games for Victory in 2012-13, winning the Johnny Warren Medal as the A-League's best player.
The impressive New Zealand international terrorised defences, leading to his move to Stuttgart in 2013.
But Rojas battled away in Europe in stints with Stuttgart, SpVgg Greuther Furth and FC Thun.
