Born in Zutphen, Roelvink started her career at the age of 9, playing locally in the youth teams of amateur clubs Wilhelmina SSS and subsequently VV Oeken before moving in 2004 to SC Klarenbeek.
[8] She was quickly establishing herself at the team's defence but on 5 September 2010, during the fourth match of the Bundesliga season's campaign against FC Bayern Munich, in a ball dispute duel with Petra Wimbersky, she sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury tear damaging her meniscus and interior ligaments, ruling her out for a minimum of half a year and she didn't feature for the club for the rest of the season.
[1][9] In 2011, after recovering from her knee injury and looking to have more opportunities to play to gain match practice,[1] she joined FF USV Jena, following former Duisburg coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, where she signed a one-year contract.
[16] Roelvink made her senior national team debut on 6 June 2010, a 2–0 win over Belgium in Loenhout, Wuustwezel.
[17] In the following days national team coach Roger Reijners selected Roelvink in the Netherlands squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.
