Sean Rooney (born 1 March 1989) is an Australian footballer who plays for Marconi Stallions FC.
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. 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 2009–10 season against 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.
On 24 August 2013 it was confirmed that Rooney had signed with Bengaluru FC of the I-League. 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 clubs history in the 50th minute as Bengaluru went on to draw the match 1–1. 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.
