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. After HamKam gained promotion, Rogers signed a contract for a permanent deal at the start of 2022. A month later Rosenborg, led by his former HamKam manager Kjetil Rekdal, completed the transfer of Rogers to Rosenborg.
