Career

College and amateur

Roldan was named the 2013 Gatorade National Player of the Year in soccer while attending El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera, California.[3]

Roldan spent his college career at the University of Washington. In his two seasons with the Huskies, Roldan made a total of 41 appearances and tallied 10 goals and seven assists and helped lead the team to a Pac-12 title in 2013.

Roldan also played in the Premier Development League for the Washington Crossfire.[4][5]

Professional

On January 8, 2015, it was announced that Roldan had left college early to sign a Generation Adidas contract with Major League Soccer.[6] On January 15, he was selected 16th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Seattle Sounders FC.[7] After making two substitute appearances the first two weeks of the season against the New England Revolution and the San Jose Earthquakes, Roldan made a substitute appearance for USL affiliate club Seattle Sounders FC 2 on March 21 and scored an 89th-minute goal in a 4–2 victory over defending USL champion Sacramento Republic FC.[8] Due to injuries and international call-ups, he made his first MLS start the following week in a goalless draw away to FC Dallas.[9]

Roldan scored his first career MLS goal on July 13, 2016, during a 5–0 win over FC Dallas.[10]

On November 10, 2019, Roldan featured for Seattle in a 3–1 home win over Toronto FC in the 2019 MLS Cup Final; he was involved in the build-up to his team's opening goal, after colliding with Jonathan Osorio, who lost the ball, while Seattle went on to score with Kelvin Leerdam.[11]

International

Roldan represented the United States at under-20 level. He was also eligible to represent either Guatemala or El Salvador through his parents,[12] and mentioned in an interview that he had been offered senior callups from both nations.[13] On July 12, 2017, he was cap-tied to the United States national team by starting their 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage match against Martinique.[14]

Personal life

Roldan was featured in an Adidas commercial as a nine-year-old, selected for his soccer ball juggling skills from 110 kids who tried out for the commercial.[15] Roldan is of Salvadoran and Guatemalan descent, and has an older brother named Cesar Jr., who works as a trainer for the LA Galaxy, and a younger brother Alex who also plays for the Seattle Sounders as of 2019.[16][17]
