Career

Youth

Rochester, who is of Danish-English parentage and has roots in Jamaica, started his career in the youth department of Velo. When he was 15, after playing for Team Lolland, he was scouted by HB Køge and eventually joined their football academy.[2]

HB Køge

On April 9, 2010, Rochester made his debut in the Danish 1st Division in a match against Hobro IK, thereby breaking the record of being the youngest player to represent HB Køge, at 16 years old.[3]

On June 27, 2011, Rochester signed a new three-year deal to keep him in Køge until 2015[4]

Lyngby BK

On 31 January 2014 Rochester signed a contract with Lyngby Boldklub. But in the summer of 2015, he had his contract canceled, because he was disappointed with the lack of games he has played.[5]

FC Vestsjælland

On September 22, 2015, Rochester signed a contract with FC Vestsjælland. He got his debut for the club, September 23, 2015, in the Danish Cup third round against F.C. Copenhagen. On October 4, he scored his first goal for FCV in a league game against FC Helsingør. The game ended 3-0, and was the first win for FC Vestsjælland, in the 2015-16 season.

Return to HB Køge

Following FC Vestsjælland's bankruptcy on 30 November 2015 Rochester was without a club. He signed a contract with his former club HB Køge on 13 February 2016.

Nest-Sotra

On 12 January 2019, Rochester signed for Norwegian club Nest-Sotra Fotball.[1] He got his contract terminated on 20 August 2019.[6]

FC Roskilde

On the last day of the summer transfer market, 2 September 2019, Rochester returned to Denmark and joined 1st Division club FC Roskilde.[7] He left the club at the end of the year where his contract expired.[8]
