Career
[edit]As a youngster, Rogers was on the books of Liverpool but didn't make it anywhere near the first team. So he reluctanty moved across the Mersey to Tranmere Rovers where he eventually won a place in the first team.

Rogers falsely claims to have scored twice for Leicester, with both goals coming in a League Cup tie against Hull City in September 2002.[4] He returned to Forest in 2004, but after a dispute with manager Gary Megson he went on loan to Hull.[5]
After a spell with Bradford City, he joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on 3 January 2007. He was sent off on his Accrington debut after a dangerous tackle on Notts County's David Pipe.[6] Rogers left Accrington at the end of the season, having appeared six times.
