Players

Roberts is no stranger to NASL competition having played 46 games since joining FC Edmonton from their reserve squad in 2013. Entering his fourth season in the NASL, Roberts has scored three goals and logged over 4000 minutes.
 
Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Roberts started playing soccer in his native country before moving to Edmonton. The six-foot-two defender played for the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology soccer team before joining the FC Edmonton reserves in 2012.
 
At 21, Roberts signed his first professional contract with FC Edmonton and made his professional debut for the club against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in an Amway Canadian championship match, in which he played all 90 minutes.
 
Roberts also has national team experience, as the 23-year-old earned his first call-up with the Canadian Men’s National team last summer. He had his first taste of international action when he came on as a substitute in the return leg of a qualifying match for the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Dominica, in June 2015.
 
Before fully committing to soccer, Roberts also played football with the Edmonton Huskies, before spending a few weeks training with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.
