Tomas Petar Rogic (born 16 December 1992) is an Australian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
At the beginning of the 2012–13 season, Rogic rejected advances from other A-League clubs, opting to remain with the Mariners. Rogic scored his first goals of the season in the home victory against Sydney FC, scoring two goals to help the Mariners win 7–2 against the Sky Blues. On 5 December 2012, Rogic was awarded the NAB Young Footballer of the Month Award for November 2012, as well as simultaneously being the second nomination for the NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award. In only his first full A-League season, Rogic received interest from Premier League sides Reading and Fulham, La Liga sides Celta Vigo and Rayo Vallecano, and Pro League club, Club Brugge.
Despite reported interest from the likes of Arsenal, ACF Fiorentina, and Valencia CF, Rogic signed a new three-year contract with Celtic on 9 August 2016. The following day, he scored twice as Celtic beat Motherwell 5–0 in the Scottish League Cup. He followed this up by scoring the opener in the first leg of the Champions League play-off tie against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on 17 August 2016; Celtic went on to win 5–2.
Rogic scored the first goal in Celtic's 3–0 triumph over Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup Final at Hampden Park on 27 November 2016. He scored another winning goal in injury time against Motherwell on 3 December, firing home from just outside the box to give Celtic a 4–3 win at Fir Park. On 27 May 2017, Rogic scored a late winner against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final, securing the domestic treble for Celtic.
In May 2018, Rogic signed a new contract with Celtic.
After a prolonged period out of the Celtic starting 11, in August 2020 it looked as if Rogic's time at Celtic would be over. He was linked with an unnamed Qatari club for a fee of around £4 million before the move fell through. After a lacklustre trophyless season, the signing of Australian manager Ange Postecoglou in June 2021 acted as a renaissance moment for Rogic's career. Knowing his new boss from the Australian national team, Rogic was entrusted with time in the starting eleven. Through impressive performances characteristic of his earlier years at Celtic, he earned a spot in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year.
On 13 May 2022, Celtic announced that Rogic and Nir Bitton would both be leaving the club after the final game of the season against Motherwell. Rogic said: "It has been a phenomenal journey, with some magical moments – it has been an honour to be a part of this experience. While I am so sad to leave, I feel so proud to be part of a team that has delivered the title again for our fans. The club is in a great position and I know the manager will take the club on and deliver more and more success." He started the match before being substituted for James McCarthy at the hour mark, for which he received a standing ovation from the Celtic Park crowd. He and Bitton brought out the Scottish Premiership trophy together, which club captain Callum McGregor then lifted aloft with his departing teammates standing on either side.
In October 2023, Rogic announced his retirement from football in order to focus on his family.
On 3 September 2015, Rogic scored his first and second goal for Australia, scoring in a 5–0 defeat of Bangladesh in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier. In March 2016, Rogic scored two goals in three minutes against Tajikistan after coming off the bench in a World Cup Qualifier that ended 7–0 in Australia's favor. In the following qualifier against Jordan five days later, Rogic scored another goal for Australia in a 5–0 win.
On 8 June 2017, Rogic scored the decisive goal in a 3–2 win over Saudi Arabia in a World Cup qualifier. Rogic controlled the ball before booting it past the goalkeeper into the net from outside the box. Rogic also joined Australia as they competed in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. In Australia's first group match against Germany, he played a key role, as he scored a goal in the first half as well as setting up Tomi Juric in the second. Despite his heroics Australia lost 3–2. Rogic was an unused substitute in Australia's final group match that saw them draw 1–1 with Chile.
In May 2018, he was named in Australia's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
At the end of August 2021, Rogic was called on again for the third round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and subsequently registered his first appearance for the Socceroos since November 2019, as he started the match against China PR (where he also assisted Martin Boyle for the second goal of the game and took part in a 3–0 win) on 2 September 2021.
