*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
As a youngster Rogers was on the books of Liverpool until his dad fell out with one of the coaches.[4] He then moved across the Mersey to Tranmere Rovers and won a place in the side as fast, tough tackling left back. He made his Tranmere debut in November 1995, coming on as a substitute in a league match against Grimsby Town.
In 1997 Nottingham Forest paid £2 million for him. At the time this was the highest transfer fee Tranmere received for a player. He spent several seasons at Forest before leaving for Leicester City. Rogers scored twice for Leicester, with both goals coming in a League Cup tie against Hull City in September 2002.[5] He returned to Forest in 2004, but after a dispute with manager Gary Megson he went on loan to Hull.[6]
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.[7] Rogers left Accrington at the end of the season, having appeared six times.
In April 2015, Rogers was appointed as caretaker-manager of Tranmere Rovers.[8]
In January 2017, Rogers was appointed manager of Northern Premier League Premier Division side Skelmersdale United.[9]
In April 2018, Rogers pleaded guilty to assault in Chorley magistrates court.[10]
