Rosen made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt on 20 February 1999 when he came on as a substitute for Frank Gerster in the 86th minute against TSV 1860 München. While under contract with Frankfurt, Rosen went on loan with FC Augsburg and VfL Osnabrück. After his return to Frankfurt, he played in three more matches in the 2. Bundesliga before leaving for 1. FC Saarbrücken prior to the 2003–04 season. After a short stint with Sportvereinigung Elversberg, he switched to Norwegian club Follo Fotball in December 2005.

In November 2010, Rosen became Hoffenheim's development performance centre manager. In April 2013, he was promoted to head of professional football at Hoffenheim. [2] Since October 2013, his official job title has been director of football.
