Career

West Bromwich Albion

Roofe started his career with West Bromwich Albion where he played for the side's academy team. In July 2009, Roofe was among eleven academy youngsters to sign scholarships with West Brom.[3] In April 2011, he was sent out on loan to Icelandic side Víkingur Reykjavík, where he made three appearances.[4] In January 2012, Roofe signed his first professional contract, on an 18-month deal with an option to extend.[5]

Loan spells

On 27 September 2012, he joined Football League Two side Northampton Town on a one-month loan deal.[6] He made his professional debut on 29 September 2012, in a 3–3 draw with Burton Albion, coming on as a substitute for Chris Hackett.[7] After making six appearances for the club, it announced that Roofe would return to his parent club on 27 October 2012.[8] Following the end of the 2012–13 season, Roofe's contract with West Brom was extended for one year.[9]

In the 2013–14 season, Roofe joined Football League Two side Cheltenham Town on loan until 4 January 2014.[10] He made his debut for the club, two days after joining, in a 1–1 draw against Southend United.[11] Roofe scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Hartlepool United on 14 December 2013.[12] On 9 January 2014, Roofe's loan spell with Cheltenham Town was extended for another month.[13] After making nine appearances, Roofe informed the club that he wanted to return to his parent club.[14] However, on his return, Roofe returned to the club's reserves throughout the 2013–14 season. Nevertheless, his contract with the club was extended further by twelve months.[15]

In the 2014–15 season, Roofe scored in a friendly match against Port Vale, which West Brom lost.[16] Then, on 4 November 2014, he joined Football League One side Colchester United on a month's loan.[17] A week later, Roofe made his debut for the club, where he came on as a substitute for Sanchez Watt in the second half, in a 3–2 loss against Barnsley.[18] After making two appearances, Roofe's loan spell with Colchester United came to an end and he returned to West Brom.[19]

Oxford United

On 13 February 2015, Roofe joined Oxford United on loan from West Bromwich Albion.[20] Roofe made his Oxford United debut the next day, coming on as a substitute for Andrew Whing in the 61st minute, in a 2–0 defeat to Burton Albion.[21] Despite his not scoring in his first five appearances, Roofe's loan spell with Oxford was extended until the end of the season.[22] Roofe then scored his first Oxford United goals, in a 3–2 win over Wycombe Wanderers on 3 April 2015,[23] and he added four further goals in the last three matches against Tranmere Rovers,[24] Cambridge United[25] and Newport County.[26] His final goal tally for the season was six goals in sixteen appearances.

Weeks after the 2014–15 season ended, Roofe signed a three-year permanent deal with the club on 11 May, for an undisclosed sum.[27] On 15 March 2016, Roofe scored his first hat-trick in the 4–0 win against Dagenham & Redbridge.[28] In April 2016 he was voted Sky Bet League Two's player of the year at the Football League Awards.[29]
