Roach was picked in the water polo Sharks squad to compete in the men's water polo tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[5] The team finished joint fourth on points in their pool but their inferior goal average meant they finished fifth overall and out of medal contention.[6] They were able to upset Croatia in a group stage match 11–8.[7]
He is the son of former professional rugby league footballer Steve Roach.[1]
