===Underage===
Rossiter was on the Wexford minor hurling team when, at the age of 17, he cracked his spine in a club [[Gaelic football|football]] game.

As a student at the Waterford Institute of Technology, Rossiter immediately became involved in hurling as a member of the Waterford IT freshers' team. He joined the senior hurling team during his second year.

On 6 March 2004, Rossiter lined out at centre-back when the Waterford Institute of Technology faced University College Cork in the Fitzgibbon Cup final. He ended the game with his first winners' medal as Waterford IT retained the title following an 0-11 to 0-09 victory.[1]

On 4 March 2006, Rossiter played in a second Fitzgibbon Cup final in three years. Lining out at right corner-back he claimed a second winners' medal after a 4-13 to 0-08 defeat of University College Dublin.[2]

Oulart–The Ballagh

[edit]

Rossiter joined the Oulart–The Ballagh club at a young age and played in every grade at juvenile and underage levels. He enjoyed championship success in the under-21 grade before becoming a member of the club's senior team.

On 17 October 2004, Rossiter lined out at full-back when Oulart–The Ballagh faced reigning-champions Rathnure in the Wexford Senior Championship final. He ended the game with a winners' medal following the 1-17 to 1-10 victory.[3]

Rossiter lined out in a third successive final on 16 October 2006 with Rathnure providing the opposition. After starting the game at full-back he was switched to midfield to curb the influence of Paul Codd, however, the game ended in a draw.[5] Rossiter was switched to right corner-back for the replay on 22 October 2006, however, he ended the game on the losing side after a 1-12 to 0-06 defeat.[6]

Rossiter was moved back to his more regular position of centre-back when Oulart–The Ballagh faced Buffer's Alley in a second final in three years on 11 October 2009. He ended the game with a fourth winners' medal following the 3-12 to 1-13 victory.[7]

On 10 October 2010, Rossiter captained the team when Oulart–The Ballagh faced St. Martin's in the final once again. He ended the game with a fifth winners' medal following the 1-14 to 0-06 victory.[8] Rossiter was again at full-back when Oulart–The Ballagh suffered a 0-14 to 1-08 defeat by O'Loughlin Gaels in the Leinster final on 30 January 2011.[9]

Rossiter was selected at full-back when Oulart–The Ballagh faced Rathnure in the final on 9 October 2011. He claimed a sixth winners' medal following the 1-10 to 0-11 victory.[10] On 27 November 2011, Rossiter lined out in a second successive Leinster final but ended on the losing side once again following a 1-15 to 1-11 defeat by Coolderry.[11]

He "dominated" in front of goal as a full-back and collected a ninth winners' medal following the 2-15 to 0-13 defeat of St. Martin's.[16] On 29 November 2015, Rossiter was again at full-back when Oulart–The Ballagh defeated Cuala by 2-13 to 0-13 to win the Leinster Championship.[17]

On 16 October 2016, Rossiter played in his 12th Wexford Senior Championship final. Lining out at full-back, he ended the game with a remarkable 10th winners' medal following the 0-17 to 1-11 defeat of Cloughbawn.[18]

Wexford

[edit]

Minor and under-21

[edit]

Rossiter was just 16-years-old when he first lined out for Wexford as a member of the minor team during the 2000 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 24 June 2000 when he lined out at right corner-back in a 3-09 to 1-14 defeat by Dublin.

Eligible for the minor grade in 2001, Rossiter was unable to line out due to injury. After receiving a back injury in a club game, an MRI scan showed that he had cracked his spine after a vertebra broke off. Rossiter subsequently underwent an operation with a 25% chance of being confined to a wheelchair. The operation and year-long rehabilitation were a complete success.[20]

Rossiter was drafted onto the Wexford under-21 team in advance of the 2003 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 24 June 2003 when he lined out at centre-back in Wexford's 2-16 to 0-09 defeat by Dublin.

On 14 July 2004, Rossiter was again at centre-back when Wexford qualified to play Kilkenny in the Leinster final at Wexford Park. He ended the game on the losing side following a 1-16 to 2-03 defeat.[21]

Rossiter was eligible for the under-21 grade for a third and final season in 2005. He played his last game in the grade on 22 June 2005 when Wexford suffered a 2-13 to 0-15 defeat by Kilkenny.

Rossiter was added to the Wexford senior panel in advance of the 2003 National League. He made his first appearance for the team on 22 February 2003 when he lined out at left wing-back in Wexford's 2-16 to 1-14 defeat of Derry in their opening league game. Rossiter made his Leinster Championship debut on 8 June 2003 when he lined out at left corner-back in a 0-16 to 1-12 defeat of Offaly.[22] He was switched to right wing-back for the Leinster final on 6 July 2003 but ended on the losing side after a 2-23 to 2-12 defeat by Kilkenny.

On 4 July 2004, Rossiter was selected on the bench when Wexford lined out against Offaly in the Leinster final. He remained on the bench for the entire game but ended the game with a winners' medal following the 2-12 to 1-11 defeat of Offaly.[23]

Rossiter was back on the starting fifteen at left corner-back when Wexford faced Kilkenny in the Leinster final on 7 July 2005. He ended the game on the losing side after a 0-22 to 1-16 victory for Kilkenny.[24]

Rossiter was appointed captain of the Wexford senior team for the 2006 season.[25] He lined out in a fourth successive Leinster final on 2 July 2006 with Kilkenny providing the opposition for the third time. Rossiter ended the game as a runner-up following the 1-23 to 2-12 defeat.[26]

On 1 July 2007, Rossiter lined out in a fifth successive Leinster final. Playing at centre-back, he ended the game on the losing side for the fourth time in his career after a 2-24 to 1-12 defeat by Kilkenny.[27]

Rossiter lined out in a sixth successive Leinster final on 6 July 2008, however, for the fifth time in his career Rossiter ended up on the losing side after a 5-21 to 0-17 defeat by Kilkenny.[28]

On 2 May 2010, Rossiter lined out at full-back when Wexford faced Clare in the National League Division 2 final. He ended the game with a winners' medal following the 1-16 to 2-09 victory.[29]

Rossiter announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 28 January 2015. He said: "It's something I've been thinking about probably since last year...In my own eyes I'd have looked at 2014, coming into that season, as being my last one. No one knew that, but it was always at the back of my mind."[30]

Leinster

[edit]

Rossiter was first selected for the Leinster inter-provincial team during the 2012 Inter-provincial Championship. On 4 March 2012, he lined out at full-back when Leinster defeated Connacht by 2-19 to 1-15 to win the Railway Cup.[31]

On 1 March 2014, Rossiter was selected for the Leinster team for the Railway Cup final against Connacht. He was an unused substitute throughout the game but collected a second winners' medal following the 1-23 to 0-16 victory.[32]

Coaching career

[edit]

Wexford

[edit]

On 9 November 2016, it was revealed that Rossiter had joined Davy Fitzgerald's Wexford senior hurling management team as a coach.[33] In his first season as a coach, he helped guide the team to promotion to Division 1A of the National Hurling League after remaining undefeated in the group stage.[34] On 2 July 2017, Rossiter was part of the management team that saw Wexford reach a first Leinster final in nine years, only to lose to Galway by 0-29 to 1-17.[35]

On 20 January 2018, Rossiter was coach when Wexford drew 1-24 apiece with Kilkenny in the Walsh Cup final. Wexford won the subsequent free-taking shoot-out, with Rossiter securing his first silverware with Wexford.[36]

Wexford reached a second Leinster final in three years on 30 June 2019 with Rossiter on the sideline once again. A 1-23 to 0-23 defeat of Kilkenny secured a first Leinster Championship since Rossiter's own playing career in 2004.[37]
