Early life

He played youth football with Bayer Leverkusen and Viktoria Köln. In 2018, he moved to the 1. FC Köln youth system.[1]

Club career

On 27 April 2019, he debuted with 1. FC Köln II in the fourth tier Regionalliga West against SC Wiedenbrück.[2] In January 2021, he extended his contract,[3] and then he extended it again in January 2022.[4] He terminated his contract with Köln in February 2022 in order to sign with a new club.[5]

In March 2022, he signed with Canadian Premier League club Cavalry FC.[6] He had initially had discussions about joining the club the previous year in 2021, but declined as he had just become the first-choice keeper with Köln II.[7] He made his debut for Cavalry on April 9 against Atlético Ottawa.[8]

In January 2023, he returned to training with his former club 1. FC Köln, with the first team squad.[9][10] On 15 January, it was announced that Roloff would officially join Köln, with Cavalry retaining a percentage of any future transfer.[11][12] He is expected to train with the first team as the fourth goalkeeper, while getting some game time with the second team in the Regionalliga.[13]

At the end of the 2022–23 season, he retired from playing football professionally to focus on his studies.[14]
