Alan Rogers

Alan Rogers (born 3 January 1977) is an English former footballer who played as a defender.

Career Rogers was a youth player at Liverpool but never made an appearance for the first team. He joined Tranmere Rovers, making his debut in November 1995 as a substitute in a league match against Grimsby Town.

In 1997 Nottingham Forest paid £2 million for him. At the time this was the highest transfer fee Tranmere received for a player. He spent several seasons at Forest before leaving for Leicester City. He scored twice in a League Cup tie against Hull City in September 2002. He returned to Forest in 2004, but after a dispute with manager Gary Megson he went on loan to Hull.

After a spell with Bradford City, he joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on 3 January 2007. He was sent off on his Accrington debut after a dangerous tackle on Notts County's David Pipe. Rogers left Accrington at the end of the season, having appeared six times.

In April 2015, Rogers was appointed as caretaker-manager of Tranmere Rovers.

In January 2017, Rogers was appointed manager of Northern Premier League Premier Division side Skelmersdale United.

In April 2018, Rogers was found guilty of assault at Chorley magistrates court.

In September 2022, Rogers and Steve Jennings were accused of trying to blackmail a football manager over gambling debts of nearly £1 million. The case went to court but was dropped after the manager decided they did not want the case to continue.
