Rogers has had a career working in elite sport, both nationally and internationally, coming back to Newcastle from his most recent position at Stade Francais Paris Rugby Club.

He has also previously worked with the Matildas and at the Australian Institute of Sport, and was head of strength performance at Newcastle Knights rugby league side between 2008-2011.

“Tim has been a real journeyman in the strength and conditioning role and comes to us with a lot of experience from the many codes he has worked in,” CEO Robbie Middleby said.

“This experience will be of great benefit to the Newcastle Jets and we look forward to welcoming Tim to the club to work alongside Gary van Egmond and the team.”

Jets Football Operations Manger Lee Clark worked with Rogers at the Knights and looks forward to linking back up with his former colleague.

“I have worked with Tim before and I am excited to have him coming to the Jets,” Clark said.

“He is very professional, knowledgeable, comes with a lot of experience and he will just be a great asset for the Jets.”

Rogers returns to Australia on Thursday and starts his role with the Jets later this week.
