[edit] Playing Career
With his most previous club, Shelbourne, he had quite a successful spell. He joined them from Dutch club Cambuur Leeuwarden in June 2003. Rogers made his debut that same month against Derry, 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.
The Liverpudlian player won the League of Ireland championship with Shelbourne in 2003, 2004, and 2006.
"Scouser", as he is known to some, was one of the favourite players of the club's fans, especially after his volley in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round against the Croatian champions Hajduk Split.[1]
His goal spurred Shels on to a famous victory and made the Reds the first (and, as of yet, only) Irish team to make it to the Champions League third qualifying round. However, the club, downtrodden with financial difficulties and unable to sustain its first-team squad by early 2007, had to let Rogers go.
His former manager, Fenlon, who had taken the managerial position at Derry City in December 2006, convinced him that the Brandywell was the new place for him, and his signing 0f a two-year contract was announced by Derry on 28 January, 2007.[2]
He made his debut for his new club during a pre-season friendly game against Newry City prior to the beginning of the 2007 FAI National League season.
