On January 11, 2016, Rosenberry was selected 3rd overall in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft by Philadelphia Union.[4] He made his Union debut on March 6, 2016, during a 0–2 loss against FC Dallas.[5] During the 2016 season, he started every game, playing the full 90 minutes. In the home opener, he was nominated for man of the match as well as being selected to the MLS Team of the Week. In July 2016 he was also voted into the roster for the 2016 MLS All-Star Game,[6] and at the end of the season came second in voting for 2016 Rookie of the Year.[7][8]

On December 19, 2018, Rosenberry was traded to Colorado Rapids in exchange for $150,000 General Allocation in 2019, $50,000 Targeted Allocation in 2019 and $100,000 General Allocation in 2020, plus $100,000 in conditional payments.[9]

On February 20, 2019, Rosenberry signed a three-year contract extension through the 2022 season.[10] Rosenberry started and played a full 90 minutes in all 34 regular season matches for Colorado, one of just three outfield players to play all 3,060 minutes.[11] It was Rosenberry's second time accomplishing the feat, after doing so in his rookie year in Philadelphia.
