Rougalas scored his first professional goal on 16 March 2014, netting the first of a 2–0 away win against Paniliakos.[4] He appeared in 21 matches during the campaign, as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 9 February 2015, Rougalas penned a two and a half-year deal with Football League side Iraklis.[6][7] On 1 July 2015 he was released by Iraklis [8] and one day later he was signed by Oud-Heverlee Leuven, where he was reunited with his former Fostiras' coach Jacky Mathijssen. [9] On the summer of 2016, he released his contract in a mutual content with Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

On 20 January 2017, he signed a six months' contract with the Romanian club Târgu Mureș for an undisclosed fee.[10] On 28 June 2017, after six months in Romania, he signed a two years' contract with Belgian First Division B club Westerlo for an undisclosed fee. [11]
