He played for La Brea Angels, Trintoc, United Petrotrin, and Trinity Pros before signing with Scottish club Raith Rovers in March 1995.
He then had spells in China with Nanjing Yoyo and in America with Rochester Rhinos before returning to Trinidad to play for United Petrotrin, North East Stars, and FC South End.
Starting his career in his native Trinidad and Tobago with La Brea Angels, Trintoc, United Petrotrin, and Trinity Pros, Rougier switched to the Caribbean for Raith Rovers of Kirkcaldy, Scotland in March 1995.
He arrived at Vale Park with the club about to suffer a drastic downturn in fortunes as chairman Bill Bell replaced manager John Rudge with Brian Horton.
Rougier scored nine goals in 41 games in 1999–2000, becoming a crowd favourite and the club's top scorer, but it was not enough to prevent the "Valiants" from losing their First Division status.
[5] Chairman Bill Bell was not as keen on the player as the supporters, bemoaning Rougier's international commitments by stating "he may have been on the pitch nearly 40 times, but he did not play 40 games".
Rougier was loaned out to Brighton & Hove Albion late in the season,[10][11] scoring twice for the "Seagulls" in six appearances, leading to speculation of a permanent transfer.
[12] Returning to the Madejski Stadium in time for the play-offs, he played a part of the semi-final second leg, replacing Darius Henderson after 64 minutes.
He scored the opener of the semi-final with Hartlepool United at Victoria Park, City winning 2–1 on aggregate, before falling 1–0 at the Millennium Stadium to his old club Brighton.
He ended his playing career back in Trinidad with United Petrotrin before becoming a Technical Advisor at North East Stars under manager David Farrell in 2008.
