Roos as a youth originally played with Hanhals IF and IF Troja-Ljungby before making his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) debut in the 2018–19 season with Frölunda HC. After two seasons in the HockeyAllsvenskan with BIK Karlskoga, leading the blueline in scoring with 28 points in 2020–21, Roos was signed to a two-year contract in returning to the SHL with Skellefteå AIK on 4 May 2021.[1]
In his first full season in the SHL in 2021–22, Roos registered 6 points through 50 games with Skellefteå.

Roos was assigned to Rockford to start the 2023–24 season.[10] He played in 59 games with the IceHogs, scoring 2 goals and 16 points.[2] He was recalled by Chicago on 16 November after defenseman Nikita Zaitsev became unavailable.[11] He did not play with the team before being returned to Rockford on 19 November.[12] He was recalled again on 5 December after defenseman Jarred Tinordi was injured.[13] Roos made his NHL season debut on 12 December in a 4–1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. He went to the locker room for part of the game after being struck in the hand by a puck.[14] He played in four games going scoreless with Chicago before being sent back to Rockford along with defenseman Wyatt Kaiser on 22 December.[15]
Following two seasons with the Blackhawks, Roos left as an unrestricted free agent and was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Ottawa Senators for the 2024–25 season on 2 July 2024.[16] He was assigned to Ottawa's AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, to start the 2024–25 season.[17] He played the entire season in the AHL, appearing in 68 games with Belleville, recording 17 points (all assists).[18]
