For their first match on 8 March 2015, a 1–1 home draw against fellow newcomers New York City FC, Róchez entered as a substitute in the 80th minute in place of Lewis Neal.[5] Róchez scored his first goal for Orlando City on 13 September 2015, in a 3–1 win against Sporting Kansas City.

Nacional
Róchez was waived by Atlanta on 22 August 2017 and joined Portuguese LigaPro side C.D. Nacional.[8][9]
