Pulga Rodríguez Returns to Colón for a Third Stint

Luis Miguel "Pulga" Rodríguez is back in Santa Fe to begin his third chapter with Colón. After parting ways with Atlético Tucumán, where he had been sidelined from the club’s plans, the 40-year-old forward underwent medical tests and is set to sign his contract with the struggling Primera Nacional side.

Rodríguez re-joins Colón amid a challenging period for the club, which is trying to recover from its 2023 relegation. Speaking to reporters, the veteran striker acknowledged the tough context but expressed optimism: “When I arrived in 2019 it was something similar, though in Primera. Nobody wants to be in this situation, but the boys are just like me, eager to turn things around.”

A key figure in Colón’s first ever title, the 2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional, Rodríguez now returns to offer experience and leadership. His comeback has reignited hope among fans who see him as a symbol of better times. With his deep ties to the club and a proven ability to deliver in crucial moments, Pulga’s return could be a turning point in Colón’s quest for promotion.
