Club career

Born in New Zealand to a New Zealand parents, Roberson began his career in the youth systems of Papatoetoe AFC and Matamata Swifts. He joined Hamilton Wanderers in December of 2023 and played in their U23 side for the first part of 2024.

A tough season ensued with the youngster only being on the winning side in one of his 14 appearances.

Roberson then made the switch to Dunedin at the end of the 2024 season and signed for Mosgiel AFC for the 2025 season where he currently plays as their first team goalkeeper. He is part of a side that is aiming for a 3rd Southern Premier League title in a row.
