Roles first appeared for Tottenham's senior team in the 2018–19 pre-season, appearing off of the bench in a friendly against Juventus.[5]

In August 2019 Roles went out on loan to Cambridge United, who played in League Two.[6] He was put straight into the squad for his Football League debut against Scunthorpe United, with Cambridge winning 3–2.[7] His first senior goal came the following month against Mansfield Town, Cambridge's first in a 4–0 win.[8]

Roles was named the league's player of the month for October 2019, and his 30-yard strike against Macclesfield Town was nominated for goal of the month too.[9]

In September 2020 Roles went out on loan to Burton Albion of EFL League One.[10]

On 27 May Tottenham announced that they had released Roles from his contract.[12]

Roles appeared twice as a substitute in the 2024 EFL League Two play-offs as Crawley defeated Crewe Alexandra to secure promotion to League One, including scoring Crawley's fourth goal in their 5–1 semi-final second leg victory over Milton Keynes Dons.[20][21][22]

He signed a new two-year deal with Crawley in June 2024.[23]
