Under Dutch team manager Johan Boskamp , he had scored four goals in five championship games at the end of the season.

In the same year he reached the final of the Challenge Cup with the team, which was lost to FC Dundee despite the 2-0 lead . After the contract expired, Rooney moved to England for a second time, this time to the second division side Birmingham City . Because the Blues won the English League Cup last season, Ronney played in the European Cup in his first year of membership . In addition to 18 league games in which he had scored four goals, he met once in five games in the Europa League. In the 2012/13 season played the entire time on loan at Swindon Town .
