Carlos Rafael Rocha Ferreira, sometimes known as Rafael Rocha or Rato (born 14 March 1989 in Ribeirão Preto) is a Brazilian professional football player who plays as a left midfielder for União de Rondonópolis.[1][2]
Rocha began his youth career at Desportivo Brasil.[3] He later played at São Bento and Botafogo.[3][4]
In October 2010 Rafael Rocha signed with Politehnica Timişoara, being recommended there by Poli's defender, the Brazilian Hélder Maurílio.[5][6] Rocha was presented together with Jiří Krejčí and he was handed the number 30.[7][8] At the presentation, he said: "It's a unique opportunity for me. It's a great team and I want to meet the demands of that are here. Romanian football is very aggressive. I'll probably adjust harder, I hope the people here will have patience with me".[7] He made his debut for Poli on the Dan Păltinişanu stadium on 26 February 2011 against Gaz Metan Mediaş, replacing Ianis Zicu in the 88th minute of the game.[9][10]
