Rogers made his debut that same month against Derry City, the club he would later join in the future, and quickly established himself as a key player in the side of Pat Fenlon, who was the Shelbourne manager at the time.

His goal spurred Shels on to a famous victory and made the Reds the first Irish team to make it to the Champions League third qualifying round.

He made his debut for his new club during a pre-season friendly game against Newry City prior to the beginning of the League of Ireland 2007 season.

He then signed for St Patrick's Athletic during the June transfer market and played in their UEFA Cup 1st Qualifying Round against OB Odense of Denmark.

In August 2009 Rogers signed for Lisburn Distillery[2] but after four months both parties agreed to part by mutual consent and on good terms.

In 2015 Rogers was recruited by the then India national team manager Stephen Constantine to become assistant coach for the SAFF Championship success.
