Career

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. 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 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.

In April 2015, Rogers was appointed as caretaker-manager of Tranmere Rovers. [7]

In January 2017, Rogers was appointed manager of Northern Premier League Premier Division side Skelmersdale United. [8]

In April 2018, Rogers was found guilty of assault in Chorley magistrates court. [9]

In September 2022, Rogers and Steve Jennings were accused of trying to blackmail a Football Manager over gambling debts of nearly £1million. The case went to court but was dropped after the Manager decided they did not want to case to continue. [10]
