At the 2005 British Swimming Championships Roebuck won a silver medal in both the 200 and 400 metres individual medleys; in 2006 he took gold in both of the medley events and also won gold in the 200 metres butterfly.[3] In 2007 he retained his butterfly and 400 metres medley titles but took silver in the 200 metres medley.[3] In the 2008 Championships Roebuck won a bronze medal in the 400 metres medley and silver in the 200 metres butterfly.[3]

Roebuck missed out on qualification for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, when he missed the required qualifying time by a quarter of a second at the Olympic Trials.[2][4]

In 2009, he finished 4th in the men's 400 m individual medley at the European Short Course Championship, setting a new British record despite tearing his swimsuit.[5]

In 2010 Roebuck won a bronze medal in the 200 metres individual relay at the 2010 European Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary; defending champion László Cseh won gold and Markus Rogan the silver.[6] Later in the year he represented England at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, held in Delhi, India.
