He was a tall defender with tremendous headers and for many years he and Ernst Drese formed one of the best defensive pairs in Central Germany. Rokosch, who practiced the profession of glazier, not only trained football, he also kept himself in shape with the gymnasts.

During his club membership, he played in the Gau Nordwestsachsen until 1924, he was with the game association four times Gaumeister and Central German champion. In the final round of the German Championship , he was used in a total of six games and failed in 1912 and 1924 in the semifinals at Karlsruher FV and Hamburger SV .
