Establishing himself as a regular at Huish Park, Roberts' loan was extended for the remainder of the 2015/16 season, with the defender making 54 appearances for the Glovers, winning five End of Season awards.
3. "WHAT A STRIKE THAT WAS!"
Having made his Swansea debut in their FA Cup Third Round tie against Wolves in 2018, Roberts became a regular under Graham Potter during the 2018/19 season, making 48 appearances.
Two months into the campaign, Roberts scored the first of his 17 professional goals, during Swansea's 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at the Liberty Stadium.
In the 76th minute, substitute Jay Fulton laid the ball off to an incoming Roberts, who pulled the ball back to send a QPR defender for a hot dog, before firing the ball past an outstretched Joe Lumley.
4. 64 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Making his Wales senior debut in the 2018 China Cup Final, Roberts has made 54 appearances for The Dragons, scoring his first goal in a 4-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland, when he finished a half-volley set up by Gareth Bale.
Named in Wales' Euro 2020 squad, Roberts started every game as they reached the Round of 16, overcoming a group that included Italy, Switzerland and Turkey.
The right back wrote his way into Welsh history, when he helped the national side to their first World Cup finals in 64 years. Roberts featured in all three group games at Qatar 2022, alongside current Leeds stars Joe Rodon, Dan James and Ethan Ampadu.
5. CHAMPION!
After 17 years at Swansea, Roberts joined Premier League side Burnley on deadline day in 2021, signing on a four-year deal. The right back made 22 appearances in his first season, as the Clarets battled against relegation.
The following season, Roberts was an integral part of Vincent Kompany's Burnley side that won promotion at the first time of asking, featuring 50 times, scoring five. Such was the defender's influence on their season, he was named in the EFL's Championship Team of the Season.
During the current 2023/24 campaign, Roberts has played 16 games for Burnley, across three competitions, most recently coming off the bench against Manchester City on Wednesday night.
6. BACK TO BACK PROMOTIONS?

On joining the Whites, Roberts said "For me personally, it's a massive opportunity to come play for such a big club, it's something I couldn't say no to, to hopefully be part of something special come the end of the season."
The right back will be hoping to help Leeds United push on in the last few months of the season, with Daniel Farke's side currently sitting in fourth place, two points behind Ipswich Town in second.
