Roberts toured South Africa with Major Warton's team in 1888/89, playing one match on the tour.[1] He didn't feature in either of the two matches against South Africa which were later given Test status. He later made a single first-class appearance for Middlesex in the 1892 County Championship against Sussex at the County Ground, Hove.[2] He batted once scoring 35 runs in Middlesex's first-innings, before being dismissed by Fred Tate.[3] This was his only first-class appearance for the county.

He died at Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex on 11 August 1911.
