Rodrigo Horacio Jara Santana (born 9 April 1985) is a Chilean former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Career

Jara was developed in the youth system of Universidad de Chile.[2]

Jara featured regularly during Universidad de Chile's run to the final of the 2006 Apertura. He started both legs of the championship final against Colo-Colo, playing at left-back as Universidad de Chile lost the title following a penalty shoot-out.[3][4] He had also started the second leg of the semi-final against Huachipato, which secured Universidad de Chile's place in the final.[5]

Jara returned to Cobresal for the 2010 season. He became a regular in the team coached by former Universidad de Chile midfielder Luis Musrri, making 28 league appearances during the campaign.[6] Cobresal's own historical records also list Jara among the club's defensive reinforcements for the season.[7]

In July 2011, Jara joined Naval de Talcahuano for the Primera B Clausura. Cooperativa described him as one of three new reinforcements signed by Naval ahead of the tournament, alongside Johanns Dulcien and Nicolás Millán.[8]

After leaving Naval, he joined Santiago Morning in 2014 and subsequently moved to Deportes Concepción in 2015. Jara later represented Deportes Puerto Montt during the 2016–17 Primera B season, scoring once for the club.

In 2017, Jara joined Deportes Copiapó, where he spent the final seasons of his professional career. He retired from professional football in 2019.[9]
