Playing career
Club
Roche plays his club hurling with the best-known Oulart–The Ballagh club in Wexford and has overall been a success. He joined in early 2003 while still playing the Under-21 squad and still is currently playing with no awards.
Inter-county
Roche first made his senior debut against Kilkenny in the 2005 Leinster final. That year it wasn't the greatest success for Wexford as they were narrowly defeated by Kilkenny. It was Roche's first ever appearance in a Leinster before getting trounced by Clare in the All Ireland Quarter Final.
