Early career

Waasland-Beveren (loan)

Following the expiry of his loan in June, Roef was loaned out again, this time to Waasland-Beveren. He made his league debut on 26 August 2017 in a 1–0 loss to Sint-Truiden.

International career

Roef has been capped at U19 level by Belgium twice. He was called up to the senior Belgium squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Iceland in September 2020.
