Rubén Rochina Naixes (born 23 March 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Russian club FC Rubin Kazan as a winger or a forward.
Rochina began his professional career with Barcelona B before joining Blackburn Rovers in 2011, spending three years with the club that included two loan spells, at Zaragoza and Rayo Vallecano.
Born in Sagunto, Valencian Community, Rochina arrived at FC Barcelona's youth system at the age of 13, after starting his development with local Valencia CF.
Whilst still a junior, he appeared in 13 games for Barcelona's reserves in Segunda División B, playing three times (117 minutes) in the 2009–10 season as Luis Enrique's side returned to the Segunda División after an 11-year absence.
On 31 January 2011, without having appeared for Barcelona's first team, Rochina joined Premier League team Blackburn Rovers on a four-year deal. On 11 February he scored twice for the reserves against Newcastle United's reserves, in a 4–4 draw.
On 16 April 2011, Rochina made his league debut for his new club, starting in a 2–0 away loss against Everton. On 24 August he scored his first competitive goal for Rovers, just five minutes into the League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday, and added a second in a 3–1 home win.
