Early career


Roberts joined Newcastle United at the age of eight and also played youth football for Whitley Bay Sproggs while attending Churchill Community College in Wallsend.[3]


While still at school during the 2012–13 season, Roberts scored eight goals in nine league appearances for the Newcastle United Under-18s in the 2012–13 Professional U18 Development League.[4]


He officially joined the Newcastle United Academy the following season and made 19 appearances for the Under-18s in the 2013–14 Professional U18 Development League, scoring four goals.[5] He also made two appearances in the FA Youth Cup as Newcastle United reached the Quarter Finals of the competition.[6] He also made the step up to Under-21 level, making ten appearances in the 2013–14 Professional U21 Development League and scoring his first goal at that level in their match against Liverpool at Anfield.[7]



Club career



Newcastle United


On 3 January 2015, Roberts made his senior debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup match against Leicester City, a match which Leicester City won 1–0.[8] At the end of January 2015, he signed his first professional contract with Newcastle United, committing himself to his hometown club on a long-term deal.[9]


On 15 January 2019, Roberts scored his first goal for Newcastle in a 4–2 FA Cup win against Blackburn Rovers.



Gateshead (loan)


Shortly after making his Newcastle United debut, on 16 January 2015, it was announced that he joined Football Conference side and near-neighbours Gateshead on a month-long loan deal.[10] This deal was later extended to a season-long deal,[11] but he was recalled on 26 February to provide injury cover at Newcastle United,[12] having made three appearances during his spell at Gateshead.



Kilmarnock (loan)


On 9 January 2017, Roberts moved on loan to Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock for the remainder of the season, along with Newcastle teammates Freddie Woodman and Sean Longstaff.[13] He made his debut on 21 January 2017, as Kilmarnock lost 1–0 against Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Cup.[14]



Colchester United (loan)


On 31 January 2019, Roberts joined League Two side Colchester United on loan for the rest of the season.[15] He made his club debut as a substitute in Colchester's 4–0 win at Northampton Town on 2 February.[16]
