His career at Q.P.R. was equally short, making just two appearances in the last two games of the 1979-80 season which Q.P.R. won both. His was given a free transfer to Australian side Sydney Olympic in May 1981.
Death
Rogers was found dead in his car at Ringwood, Hampshire, in February 1992 - ironically in the same month that another Manchester United player of around the same age, Alan Davies, died in similar circumstances. It is believed that Rogers committed suicide.
