Born in Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne, of Guadeloupean, Malagasy and Italian descent,^[3] Rosier began his senior career with Rodez AF in the fourth tier in 2015, moving to Dijon FCO of Ligue 1 a year later, on a three-season contract.^[4]

On 16 January 2024, Beşiktaş sent Rosier on loan to Ligue 1 club Nice until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent.^[11]

On 4 July 2024, Rosier joined newly promoted Spanish La Liga club CD Leganés on a four-year deal.^[12]
