Roberts began his college coaching career at William Woods University in Fulton, Mo., where he was an assistant coach. The 2016 team finished with a 12-7 record, including six wins in conference, tying the record for most conference wins in program history.
 
A four-year member of the men’s soccer program at Missouri State University, Roberts was captain on three Bears teams that won MVC regular-season titles. Upon graduating from MSU, Roberts signed a one-year contract with Telford United in England.
