Originally from the Goldfields, Rocchi started his career at South Fremantle and became their first ever Sandover Medal winner in 1928. A dual best and fairest winner at South Fremantle, he was recruited to Fitzroy after impressing during an interstate appearance for West Australia against Victoria. It took a while for him to get a clearance and he made his Fitzroy debut in 1931. An injury however restricted him to just four games that season.
