'''Sean Rooney''' (born 1 March 1989) is an Australian [[Football (soccer)|footballer]] who plays for [[Blacktown City FC|Blacktown City]].

==Club career==
Rooney started his [[A-League]] career playing in the Youth League with [[Sydney FC]]. He was the league's top goal scorer before he was signed by [[Newcastle United Jets]] on a short-term injury replacement for [[Jason Naidovski]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/soccer/jets-poach-sean-rooney-from-sydney-fc/1383232.aspx |work=[[The Newcastle Herald]] |date=11 December 2008 |accessdate=19 December 2008 |title=Jets poach Sean Rooney from Sydney FC |first=James |last=Gardiner }}</ref> He made his A-League debut in Round 15 of the 2008–09 season against [[Queensland Roar]]. His first goal for the club, undoubtedly the most important in his fledgling career and a significant one in the short history of the Jets, was an injury-time matchwinner in the club's must-win encounter against [[Beijing Guoan]] on Matchday 5 of the [[2009 AFC Champions League]]. In the final minute of the match, and with the score locked at 1–1, Rooney latched onto a fumbled pass from [[Ljubo Miličević]] on the edge of the area and struck the ball sweetly with his left foot, curling it into the top left corner of the net to send Newcastle players, staff and fans into raptures, with the club needing only a point from its final game (away to [[Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i]]) to qualify for the next stage of Asian football's premier international club competition.

Rooney scored his first goal in the A-League in his first starting appearance for [[Newcastle Jets]] in Round 4 of the [[A-League 2009-10|2009–10]] season against [[Gold Coast United FC|Gold Coast United]]. Rooney struck a powerful left-footed shot from the left-edge of the box, ending Gold Coast's aspirations of going through the season undefeated.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26002527-2722,00.html |work=[[The Australian]] |date=30 August 2009 |accessdate=31 August 2009 |title=Rooney Strike ends Gold Coast's unbeaten A-League run}}</ref>

===Bengaluru FC===
On 24 August 2013 it was confirmed that Rooney had signed with [[Bengaluru FC]] of the [[I-League]].<ref name=RooneySigning>{{cite web|title=Rooney to play for Bengaluru FC!|url=http://www.indianfootballnetwork.com/blog/2013/08/24/rooney-play-bengaluru-fc/|work=Indian Football Network|date=24 August 2013|accessdate=24 August 2013}}</ref> He made his debut for the side in their very first [[I-League]] on 22 September 2013 against [[Mohun Bagan A.C.]] in which he scored the very first goal in the club's history in the 50th minute as Bengaluru went on to draw the match 1–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=BENGALURU VS. MOHUN BAGAN 1 - 1|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/09/22/india/i-league/bengaluru/mohun-bagan-ac/1585279/|work=Soccerway|accessdate=5 October 2013}}</ref> He then scored his second goal of the season in the very next match against [[Rangdajied United F.C.]] in which he found the net in the 57th minute as Bengaluru went on to win the match 3–0.<ref>{{cite web|title=BENGALURU VS.

After failing to score in the next match against [[United S.C.|United]], Rooney once again found the net for the third time of the season against [[Mohammedan S.C. (Kolkata)|Mohammedan]] in which he scored in the 28th minute as Bengaluru FC won 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=BENGALURU VS. MOHAMMEDAN 2 - 1|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/10/10/india/i-league/bengaluru/mohammedan-sporting-club/1585299/|work=Soccerway|accessdate=12 October 2013}}</ref> He then scored his first brace of the season when he scored two against [[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]] on 23 October 2013 as Bengaluru won 3–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=BENGALURU VS. DEMPO 3 - 1|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/10/23/india/i-league/bengaluru/dempo-sports-club/1585314/|work=Soccerway|accessdate=26 October 2013}}</ref>

Rooney then began the month of November in good form when he scored the opening goal for Bengaluru FC in their match against [[Mumbai F.C.|Mumbai]] in the 7th minute.<ref name=MumbaiAway1>{{cite web|title=MUMBAI VS. BENGALURU 2 - 2|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/11/02/india/i-league/mumbai-fc/bengaluru/1585329/?ICID=PL_MS_04|work=Soccerway|accessdate=16 November 2013}}</ref> The match eventually ended in a 2–2 draw.<ref name=MumbaiAway1/> He then did not score another goal for a month till 8 December against [[Churchill Brothers S.C.|Churchill Brothers]] in which his 50th-minute strike helped Bengaluru FC to a 3–1 away victory.<ref>{{cite web|title=CHURCHILL BROTHERS VS. BENGALURU 1 - 3|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/12/06/india/i-league/churchill-brothers-sc/bengaluru/1585359/?ICID=PL_MS_01|work=Soccerway|accessdate=8 December 2013}}</ref>
