Career
Professional
Roberts signed a professional contract with Toronto FC on April 10, 2012 after playing in their academy system in previous years. This was largely because of lack of goalies. Stefan Frei had been injured in training not long before, leaving as the only goalkeeper. Roberts made his debut for Toronto as a second half sub in a mid-season friendly against Liverpool on July 21, 2012 at the Rogers Centre. The match ended 1-1 with Adam Morgan scoring for Liverpool and Quincy Amarikwa scoring for Toronto.
International
Quillan Roberts has received three caps for the national squad. This was at the level. He was in the squad for Canada at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico. He went into the tournament as the second goalkeeper, but due to an injury, he played the second group stage game against England. The game ended 2-2. Roberts received world fame after he scored a late equalizer from behind the half way line. He is the only goalkeeper to score in a FIFA finals to date. He also kept a clean sheet in their final group game. That game ended 0-0 and Canada did not move on in the competition.
