Born in Montauban, Tarn of Guadeloupean and Italian descent,[1] Rosier began his senior career with Rodez AF in the fourth tier in 2015, moving to Dijon FCO of Ligue 1 a year later on a three-season contract.[2]

Rosier made his professional debut on 31 January 2017 in the last 32 of the Coupe de France, playing the entirety of a 2–1 loss at FC Girondins de Bordeaux. Hosting the same opponents on 30 April, he played his first top-flight game in a goalless draw.[3]

On 27 June 2019, Rosier signed a three-year contract at Sporting CP of Portugal's Primeira Liga, for a fee of €7.5 million and the exchange of Mama Baldé to Dijon.[4] He debuted on 15 September in a 1–1 draw away to Boavista FC.[5] His first season was disrupted by foot injuries.[6]

Rosier earned seven caps for France at under-21 level, all in 2018. On his debut on 23 March, the side won 3–0 away to Kazakhstan in a European qualifier.[7]
