Rösch joined Bochum in July of last summer on a free transfer from German third division outfit SSV Ulm 1846.

He initially started in five of Bochum's first six games in the 2.Bundesliga, but last featured in September during a 2-1 loss to 1.FC Nürnberg.

Since then the full-back has been reduced to very limited appearances for Bochum's second team in the Regionalliga West.
