Career
Rogerson began his senior career with the now-defunct Wanderers SC in the ASB Premiership. In September 2015, he signed his first professional contract with A-League club Wellington Phoenix.[1][2]
After not receiving an offer for a contract extension, Rogerson left Wellington Phoenix and signed a two-year deal with Carl Zeiss Jena in the German 3. Liga.[3] He suffered an injury while playing for the club.[4]
Following an injury-shortened spell in Germany, Rogerson returned to New Zealand and signed for Auckland City in October 2019.[5] He helped the club secure a second consecutive ISPS Handa Premiership title in his first season and went on to become a key player for the side.
On 15 March 2021, after another successful season in which he scored eight goals and provided six assists, Rogerson signed with Finnish champions HJK Helsinki.[6]
On 31 July 2024, Rogerson joined Auckland FC ahead of their inaugural A-League Men season.[7] On 21 October 2024, he became the first Auckland FC player to score for the club, scoring the second goal in a 2–0 win over Brisbane Roar after an earlier own goal by Harry Van Der Saag.[8] On 22 February 2025, Rogerson scored Auckland FC’s first‑ever hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Wellington Phoenix. One of the goals was initially under review after a deflection from teammate Neydar Moreno, but it was later officially credited to Rogerson by the A‑League.[9] Rogerson finished 2024–25 season with 9 goals and 2 assists, including scoring the only goal in the first leg of Auckland FC's semi-final against Melbourne Victory. That season, he was regarded to have established himself as a regular starter while playing for the club.[10]
On 6 July 2025, the club announced that Rogerson had signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at Auckland FC until 2027.[11][12] Rogerson's second season at Auckland FC did not replicate the attacking output of his debut campaign. He scored once in four appearances during the club's Australia Cup run, scoring in a 4–0 win over Gold Coast Knights.[13][14] Rogerson failed to register a goal contribution in the opening three rounds of the 2025–26 season and was sent off in a 2–1 win over Wellington Phoenix at Sky Stadium for a high challenge, becoming the second Auckland player dismissed after Dan Hall had earlier been shown a red card.[15][16]
Following his suspension, Rogerson recorded his first assist of the season, setting up Lachlan Brook for the opening goal in a 3–1 win over Wellington Phoenix at Go Media Stadium.[17][18] He did not score his first A-League Men goal of the campaign until Round 19, netting in a 3–0 victory over Melbourne City on 28 February.[19][20]
Rogerson scored his second league goal of the season in a 3–0 win over Adelaide United in the second leg of the semi-finals, sealing a 4–1 aggregate victory with Auckland FC's third goal in the 86th minute and sending the club to its first A-League Men Grand Final.[21][22] Rogerson played the final 18 minutes of the 2026 A-League Men grand final after replacing Lachlan Brook, as Auckland FC defeated Sydney FC 1–0 to become the first New Zealand club to win the A-League Men Championship.[23][24]
International career
Rogerson has represented New Zealand at U17, U23, and at full senior international level. He played for the New Zealand national under-17 football team at the 2015 OFC U-17 Championship.[25] He has captained the New Zealand national under-23 football team.[26] He was part of the New Zealand national under-23 football team that participated in the 2015 Pacific Games, which doubled as qualification for the Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[27] It was in this tournament, against New Caledonia that he scored a hat-trick in New Zealand's 5–0 win.[28]
In November 2015 Rogerson made his full New Zealand debut came in a friendly against Oman, coming off the bench for the final 23 minutes in New Zealand's 1–0 win.[29]
Rogerson was called up to the New Zealand squad as a late injury replacement for Matthew Garbett ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was called up to the squad only hours before New Zealand's opening match against Iran.[30][31][32]
