Playing career

Rogers made his first grade debut for Western Suburbs in 1969. Between 1970 and 1972, Rogers finished as the club's top try scorer although his time at Wests was not very successful with the side finishing last in 1971.

In 1973, Rogers joined Canterbury-Bankstown and played every game in his first season at the club including their semi final defeat against Newtown. The following year, Rogers was limited to only 4 games and did not play in Canterbury's grand final defeat against Eastern Suburbs.

In 1975, Rogers returned to Western Suburbs and played 2 seasons with the club before retiring at the end of 1976.[2][3][4]
