Club career

Liverpool

Roberts joined Liverpool from Stoke City when she was 12 years old and progressed through the club's Centre of Excellence and Development squads, making her professional debut in an FA Cup game against Watford on 4 February 2018. In doing so she became Liverpool's youngest full debutant of the FA WSL era at the age of 16 years 269 days.[2]

Manchester United

On 1 July 2018, Roberts joined the newly formed Manchester United to compete in their inaugural season.[3] She spent the season with the academy side, reaching the final of the FA WSL Academy Cup, and in the National League with Huddersfield Town, appearing six times and scoring two goals.[4] She was released at the end of the season having not made a senior appearance for United.[5]

University of South Florida, 2019–2022

On 17 July 2019, Roberts enrolled at the University of South Florida in the United States, to play in their women's soccer team.[6] As a rookie Roberts was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Preseason Best XI freshman team and went on to make 17 appearances in her debut season, missing time due to national team obligations. At the end of the campaign she was one of only two unanimous selections to the All-AAC Rookie XI.[7] [8]

University of Louisville, 2023

In December 2022, Roberts transferred to the University of Louisville to play the 2023 season with the Louisville Cardinals.[9]

Odense Blodklub Q, 2024–

In August 2024, Roberts joined newly-promoted Danish Women's League side Odense Boldklub Q.[10]

After helping the team to qualify, Roberts travelled to Lithuania in May 2018 as part of the England under-17 squad to compete in the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship as the team reached the semi-finals.[11] [12] On 30 September 2019, Roberts was selected in the England under-19 squad that began the 2020 UEFA Under-19 Championship qualification.[13] Three days later, Roberts scored her first goal in an 8–0 win against Cyprus.[14]

Personal life

Roberts is the great-great-granddaughter of Manchester United and England defender Charlie Roberts, who played for the club from 1904 to 1913 and became the first captain to lead United out at Old Trafford in 1910.[15]
