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.

He was loaned to Orlando City B in March 2016.[6]

Róchez has been capped by Honduras up to senior level. He won the gold medal with the national under-20 team at the 2013 Central American Games.

He was called up to represent Honduras for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. He scored two goals, including the game winner, in their first Group F match, a 4–3 win over Uzbekistan.[7]
