Club career
In 1997, Roberts signed for A.C. Milan, but never played an official match for them, appearing at friendly competitions such as Copa Centenário de Belo Horizonte[1] and being loaned to some minor teams, such as Ravenna and Monza.[2]
Before moving to Colorado Rapids, he played for the Greek clubs Ionikos FC for one year and Panionios FC. In August 2001 he moved to Olympiakos FC.[3] Roberts joined the Rapids before the 2003 season[4] but was mostly a disappointment because of injuries.[5] In two years, he appeared in 17 games and played only 1092 minutes, scoring 6 goals in that short time. Colorado let him go after the 2004 season. Roberts last played for Coalisland Athletic Football Club.
