Joseph Yerimid Rosales Erazo (born 6 November 2000) is a Honduran professional footballer who plays as a left-back and wide midfielder for Major League Soccer club Austin FC and the Honduras national team.

Club career

Rosales joined Minnesota United on loan in August, 2021 after three seasons with C.A. Independiente de La Chorrera of Liga Panemeña de Fútbol. After making 24 appearances in the 2022 MLS season, Minnesota United signed Rosales to a one-year contract with club options for 2024 and 2025.[2]

For the 2024 season, Rosales became a starter as a left wingback. His contract with Minnesota United was extended in July 2024.[3] After the emergence of Anthony Markanich in the 2025 season, Rosales began playing more games as a central midfielder.[4]

In 2025, Rosales was banned by MLS for three games for using discriminatory language against Emmanuel Sabbi of the Vancouver Whitecaps.[5]

At the end of the 2025 season, Minnesota United traded Rosales to Austin FC for $1.5 million in General Allocation Money.[6]

International career

In March, 2022, Rosales was called up to play for the senior national team.
