Career
[edit]Rogers joined the Seattle Sounders FC Academy in 2013 and attended Ballard High School in Seattle. On February 23, 2017, it was announced that he signed a letter of intent to play college soccer at Villanova University.[1] On June 13, 2017, Rogers instead chose to forgo college to sign his first professional contract with Seattle Sounders FC 2.[2] Just six days later, on June 19, he graduated from high school.
On March 26, 2017, he made his debut for USL club Seattle Sounders FC 2 in a 2–1 defeat to Sacramento Republic.[3] Rogers scored his first goal for Seattle Sounders FC 2 on April 25, 2017, in a 3–2 loss to San Antonio.[4] He trialed with Standard Liege in 2019 and joined the Seattle Sounders FC preseason camp in early 2020.[5]
In April 2021, Rogers signed with USL Championship side OKC Energy.
In August 2021, Rogers signed with Norwegian second-tier team HamKam on loan until the end of the season.[6] After HamKam gained promotion, Rogers signed a contract for a permanent deal at the start of 2022.[7] A month later Rosenborg, led by his former HamKam manager Kjetil Rekdal, completed the transfer of Rogers to Rosenborg.[8]
On 31 August 2023, Rogers signed with Lillestrøm, on a contract until end of 2026.[9]
