Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

During his early life, Roberts played as a striker for his local Sunday League team, before transitioning to the goalkeeper position.[citation needed]

Roberts began his professional career at Reading, coming through the club's youth sides. During his time with the club Roberts had short-term loan spells with Wealdstone and Tonbridge Angels.[1]

Watford

[edit]

After leaving Reading, Roberts signed with Watford in January 2020.[2] Roberts has had multiple loan spells away from Watford, including full seasons with National League South clubs Concord Rangers and Welling United.[3][4] During his time with Welling, Roberts was recalled by Watford in order to train with the club’s first team squad.[5] Despite the recall, Roberts still won the Welling United manager’s player of the year award.[6][7]

Partick Thistle (loan)

[edit]

In July 2024 Roberts joined Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle on a season-long loan.[8][9][10][11]

Roberts made his Partick Thistle debut in the opening league game of the 2024–25 season, keeping a clean sheet and earning the man of the match award in a 0–0 home draw with Greenock Morton.[12][13] Roberts won Partick Thistle player of the month in his first month with the club, as voted for by Thistle supporters.[14][15] Roberts once again won Partick Thistle player of the month in October 2024.[16]
