Club career

Röseler started playing football for hometown club SV Bad Bentheim. He was later scouted by Dutch club Twente and joined their youth academy. In January 2010, he signed a youth contract with the club,[3] and on 23 July 2011, Röseler signed his first professional contract: a three-year deal.[4]

Röseler made his debut in professional football on 14 December 2011, when he played a UEFA Europa League for Twente against Wisła Kraków. Head coach Co Adriaanse had placed him in the starting line-up – the team had at that point already clinched advancement as group winners.[5] He made his Eredivisie debut on 19 February 2012, in a match against Vitesse, replacing Willem Janssen in the 92nd minute.[6] On 18 March 2012, he was in the starting line-up for the first time due to an injury to Peter Wisgerhof and a suspension to Douglas, the regular starters. He scored an own goal that match, which was lost 2–0 to Feyenoord.[7] While Röseler slowly broke into the first team, he also won the Beloften Eredivisie championship with the reserves.[8] For the first team, he made 11 appearances in the 2011–12 season.[9]

In the following season, Röseler was permanently promoted to the first team. Twente sent him on a one-season loan to VVV-Venlo in August 2012. There, he made 29 total appearances as the club suffered relegation to the Eerste Divisie.[10][9]

After returning from VVV in 2013, he spent the next season playing for Jong Twente in the Eerste Divisie.[11] He scored in his first match for the side after returning, opening the score with a header on 5 August 2013 in a 3–0 victory against FC Oss.[12]

Röseler remained an important player for the club from Venlo in the Eredivisie, and the club exercised the option to extend him another season on 28 March 2018.[18] He was in the starting line-up in all VVV's Eredivisie games during the 2017–18 season, and on 15 May 2018 he signed a two-year contract extension keeping him at the club until 2020.[19]

He left the club as his contract expired in June 2022. During his four-year stint at the club, Röseler made 135 total appearances for VVV in which he scored three goals.[9] He grew into vice-captain for the club.[20]

Bundesliga debut came in 19 September 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 92nd minute for Daniel Keita-Ruel in a 3–2 home victory against Darmstadt.[23]

Röseler left Sandhausen on 17 August 2021, as his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[24] He failed to become a permanent starter for the club, making 25 total appearances for the club in which he scored two goals.[9]
