Rojas holds five goals from five appearances in both A-League and FFA Cup and is joint top scorer of the domestic competition alongside Bruno Fornaroli and Besart Berisha who sit on four goals each.

Rojas endured a tumultuous stint in Germany after failing to progress to Stuttgart’s first team with a foot injury hindering his progress.

The Kiwi speedster stressed consistency was important as he continued to dominate the field for both Victory and New Zealand dating back to the pre-season game against Sydney FC behind closed doors at the beginning of September.

“Even with the last season I was here you can see if you’re scoring goals regularly and you’re doing well then you’re confidence just keeps building and before you know it you’re doing things without even thinking because of that confidence,” Rojas said.

“It’s great to be on their run and hopefully it can continue, obviously it’s down to the work the team does, I’m just lucky enough to be on the end of all the stuff, all the hard work they do.

“I think in front of goal I’ve been good, I’ve been better than what I was in Europe and that’s a good thing. Obviously there’s still stuff to improve on within the other parts of the field, but I’m happy to get on the scoresheet a few times, it helps with the confidence especially coming back from what I did.”

Rojas has a new partner in crime – Besart Berisha- who look compatible in the front third of Kevin Muscat’s team.

Socceroo James Troisi appears to have regained full match fitness after suffering a collarbone injury a month ago following the season opener against Brisbane Roar.

Rojas joked about his partnership with Berisha saying everything is “okay when you’re scoring goals”.

“He’s (Berisha) a very good striker, he’s always in the right place and half the time you don’t even need to look,” he said.

“You know when you’ve got the ball on the wing, where he’s going to be and you can just play it across, he’s a very competitive which I think also runs off onto us.

“It’s definitely very important (Troisi’s recovery), I don’t want to go into it too much otherwise he might think he’s irreplaceable.

“James is an extremely good player and he showed that in the time he was on the pitch especially coming back from that injury and being able to perform like that straight away.

“For us as wingers and for Bes as a striker, it’s a great thing to have a player like him in behind playing the balls through and it makes our job a lot easier.”

Victory take on an undefeated Sydney FC away on Saturday night who are yet to concede a goal.

And while Rojas wanted to keep Victory’s plan a “secret”, the 24-year-old said he noticed the A-League had changed significantly since he left in 2013.

“It’s a bit faster (A-League), the pace of the games quite quick. It’s a bit back and forth and the quality of the teams are a lot better,” Rojas conceded.

“You have Sydney on fire, Melbourne City as well bringing back players and all the players they have, Brisbane… All the teams are playing good football and I think there’s no easy game and I expect everyone to be bunched together on the table.

“Like we saw last year as well with Adelaide United, because everyone is kind of bunched, someone goes on a run, you can go from the bottom straight to the top, it’s a lot different to when I was here before, I think the main thing is that pace of the game.”

After being dubbed as a quiet type by his teammates in the past, Kiwi Messi said he felt he had matured.

“You can ask the boys about that one, I’m still pretty quiet,” he joked.

“Going over to Europe I had to come out of my shell a little bit, different type of game over there, it’s pretty much you’re on your own.

“You have to do what you can to succeed, so I had to change that quickly, like I said I’ve matured over the three years and gained a lot from that experience.”
