Rogers 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] Although neither goal is recognised in the statistics.

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]
