Germán Alexis Rolín Fernández (born 7 February 1989) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a central defender for Independiente Medellín.
Rolín began his football career with Uruguayan club Nacional. He made his first team debut on 8 May 2011 in a 1-0 win over CA Peñarol. During the 2011-12 season, he was outstanding as defender and many clubs showed interest in him. After two consecutive times finishing as the Champions with Nacional, Rolín joined Italian Serie A club Catania.
On 22 August 2012, Rolín was officially transferred to Calcio Catania.[2] [3] In his debut Serie A campaign, he has served mostly as a back-up to the likes of Nicola Legrottaglie, Nicolas Spolli, and Giuseppe Bellusci, under head coach, Rolando Maran.
Rolín is currently part of a record-breaking Catania outfit that had picked up 56 points from 38 Serie A matches. This performance also saw the club break its record number of home victories in a single season, its record number of victories overall in a single top flight campaign, as well as its record points total in Serie A for the fifth consecutive season.
In January 2015, Rolín officially signed on loan with Argentine club Boca Juniors.
On 26 May 2016, it was announced that Rolín had signed for Olimpia.[4]
He was called up by Óscar Tabárez for the Uruguay Olympic football team that played at the 2012 Summer Olympics being held in London, Great Britain.[5]
