Club career

Brighton & Hove Albion

Roberts made his professional and first team debut for Brighton & Hove Albion, whose academy he had progressed from, on 25 September 2019 in the EFL Cup at home against Aston Villa where he scored Brighton's only goal in a 3–1 defeat. [4]

His next appearance came almost a year later, on 17 September 2020. This appearance again came in the EFL Cup, this time coming on as a substitute in the 4–0 home victory over Portsmouth. [5]

Rochdale (loan)

Roberts signed a season long loan deal with League One side Rochdale on 16 October 2020. [6] He made his debut four days later in which was also his professional league debut, playing the full match and helping keep a clean sheet in the 1–0 away win over Burton Albion. [7] Roberts made 25 appearances in the league and in all competitions as Rochdale finished in 21st place so were relegated from the third tier. [8]

Return to the Albion

He made his first appearance in the 2021–22 season on 24 August, in the EFL Cup second round fixture away at Cardiff City where he helped keep a clean sheet in the 2–0 victory. [9] He featured in a Premier League matchday squad for the first time on 11 September, remaining as an unused substitute in the 1–0 away win over Brentford. [10]

Derby (loan)

On 9 July 2022, Roberts joined EFL League One club Derby County on loan for the 2022–23 season. [11] He scored his first goal for Derby and first ever in a league game on 12 November, heading home from a Conor Hourihane corner in the 3–1 away win over MK Dons. [12] For reward for scoring the goal, Roberts bizarrely received a mug from head coach Paul Warne. [13] Under Warne, Roberts played in central defence for Derby and stated Roberts was "his kind of player" and hinted interest at wanting Roberts to stay at Pride Park beyond his loan spell. [14] Roberts scored two goals in 44 appearances as Derby fell short of the League One play-offs.

Bristol City

On 14 June 2023, it was announced that Roberts had signed a three-year deal with Championship side Bristol City, officially joining on 1 July 2023.

[16] Three days later, he made his Championship debut, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute away at Millwall as Bristol City went on to score a 90+4th minute winner with a Matty James strike to score the only goal of the game.
