Roberts was drafted by Richmond in the third round of the 2010 Rookie draft and made his senior AFL debut against Carlton in round 1 of the 2010 AFL season.[1] He would play only once more for Richmond, when he was knocked out[2] and after playing a handful of matches for Richmond's Victorian Football League (VFL) affiliate Coburg Football Club, where he was in trouble for breaking a night curfew and warned for eating a hamburger before a match,[2] Roberts returned to the Northern Territory, citing homesickness.
Roberts began the 2010/11 NTFL season with Wanderers but was dropped to their reserves side after some poor performances before making a return to the senior side late in the season.[2] Roberts was recruited for the 2012 season to Walla Walla Football Club in the southern New South Wales based Hume Football League.[3] In 2014, Roberts turned out for Ouyen United in the Mallee Football League in north-west Victoria.
