Rolfe was inspired to take up para-sport after being inspired by the events of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in London. In December 2012 he attended a para-festival where he was tested by Great Britain Cycling Team coaches. Rolfe was subsequently accepted onto the British Para-cycling Development Programme. He was classified as a C2 classification cyclist and was part of the Great Britain team at the 2015 Newport Para-cycling International. In Newport he won a silver as part of the men's team sprint and a bronze in the 3 km sprint, and was selected to represent his country at the 2015 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. The World Championships provided experience for Rolfe and he finished fifth as a part of the team sprint, seventh in the 1 km time trial and 10th in the individual pursuit.
