During his time in Scoil Mhuire, he took senior soccer teams to an All-Ireland Senior College final in 1991, and a semi-final in 1989. The school also had great success in athletics, soccer, Gaelic football, and basketball under his leadership
From Glenties, where he was better known as Francie Rodgers, he played Gaelic football for Donegal on two occasions in the 1973-1974 season.
Later in 1974 Rodgers went to college in England and helped set up the Corby O’Rahilly’s GAA Club in Warwickshire.
