[3] Roger started his career with the Exeter Falcons in 1947[4] on loan from the New Cross Rangers.

Until July 1948 he was part of the Falcons team that won the National League Division Three Championship, but was recalled by New Cross.

He featured in ten outings for New Cross, and received a medal when they won the National League Division One title in the same season.

In 1950 Roger won the prestigious London Riders' Championship[6] and made his debut for England.

[7] Roger stayed with New Cross until 1953, making two further World Final appearances in the meantime, before joining the Norwich Stars when the Rangers closed.
