College and amateur[]
Rosenlund played college soccer at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was a member of the UCSB Gauchos squad that reached the 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship which lost to Indiana Hoosiers on penalties. He eventually won a National Championship with the Gauchos by beating the UCLA Bruins in the 2006 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship.

After the 2006 NCAA season ended, Rosenlund left UC Santa Barbara early. He trialed with Allmänna Idrottsklubben of the Swedish Premier Division Allsvenskan and later moved on another trial with IFK Mariehamn in the Finnish Premier Division, Veikkausliiga. He failed to secure a contract with either club, but made one appearance for IFK Mariehamn in the Finnish League Cup.[1][2][3]
After his short spell in Finland he headed back to Sweden and secured a contract with Åtvidabergs FF in the Swedish second tier, Superettan.[4] He made a couple of appearances for ÅFF before he was released by the club.

On March 21, 2008, Toronto FC announced Tyler Rosenlund was signed to a senior developmental contract.<[5] He made his Toronto FC debut on April 5, 2008, appearing as an 83rd-minute substitute during a 4–1 defeat to D.C. United.[6] He was the first Canadian-born player to score for Toronto FC, which happened at BMO Field against Chivas USA on September 6, 2008.[7]
He was released by Toronto in February 2009 and signed later with Surrey United.[8]
