Roberts made his first grade debut for South Sydney in round 10 of the 1986 against the Canberra Raiders at Seiffert Oval.
Roberts was an integral part of the South Sydney team and in 1989 he played 21 games as the club won the minor premiership.
This was mainly due to an off-field incident which happened in 1989 when Roberts was glassed in the eye during an altercation at a local pub.
Roberts departed South Sydney at the end of the 1991 season after the club finished 14th on the table.
