Early life
Rossiter was born in the parish of Oulart in County Wexford in 1984. He was educated locally and later studied Business at Enniscorthy Vocational College and Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT).
Underage
Rossiter was on the Wexford minor hurling team when, at the age of 17, he cracked his spine in a club football game. The operation to correct the injury had to potential to leave him in a wheelchair if it was unsuccessful. However, the operation and subsequent treatment meant Rossiter's spine made a full recovery.
Colleges
During his period at WIT, Rossiter had a successful hurling career, winning three Fitzgibbon Cups, a National League and a Freshers All-Ireland. His team-mates on that team included Setanta O hAilpin of Cork, J. J. Delaney of Kilkenny and Paul Curran of Tipperary.
Wexford
Rossiter soon made the step up and became a member of the Wexford senior hurling panel. He made his inter-county debut in a Walsh Cup decider against Laois in 2004, however, his first championship game was against Offaly. Since then Rossiter has played at corner-back and was the captain of the Wexford side in 2006. In January 2015, Rossiter announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.
