Career

Born in Torquay, Devon, the son of former Plymouth Argyle footballer Andy Rogers. He began his football career spending four years in the youth system of Torquay United until the Devon outfit were forced to fold their youth system.[2] Rogers then moved to the academy of Devon rivals Exeter City where he earned a call-up to train with the England U15 side.[2]

Having joined Yeovil Town's academy from Exeter in the summer of 2016 at under-15 level,[3][4] Rogers signed a youth scholarship deal with the Glovers in June 2017.[5] As a second-year scholar Rogers featured in a number of Yeovil's 2018–19 first team friendlies, including scoring in their 3–0 victory over Gillingham Town,[6] and along with Tyrique Spencer-Clarke he was awarded a first team squad number for the new season.[7] On 14 August 2018, Rogers made his debut for Yeovil in an EFL Cup first round match against Aston Villa, coming on in the 85th minute for Alex Fisher. Doing so made him the first player born in the 2000s to play for the Yeovil senior team.[8] Rogers made his English Football League debut for Yeovil as a late substitute in their 6–0 victory over Newport County, on 15 September 2018.[9] In December 2018, Rogers was awarded his first professional contract with Yeovil committing him to the club until June 2021.[4]
