Logan Rogerson and Joseph Knowles join the club this week ahead of the pre-season game against Auckland United.
Hamilton-born Rogerson (26) has signed with the competition’s newest club after a six-month stint with Armenian Premier League side FC Noah.
The nine-cap All White spent three seasons with Auckland FC rivals Wellington Phoenix, making 11 appearances in the men’s A-League, before moving to German third-tier club Carl Jeiss Jena in 2018.
Rogerson, who has represented New Zealand at U-17, U-20, U-23 and full international level, started his career as a youth player with Hamilton’s Wanderers SC.
He returned to New Zealand for two seasons with Auckland City and then left for Finland where he played for Klubi O4, HJK Helsinki and FC Haka who he joined in 2022.
Knowles (19) was the first-choice goalkeeper for Auckland National League club Eastern Suburbs for the past two seasons, helping them reach the Chatham Cup final in 2022.
His previous clubs include Melville United and Bay Olympic, and he has played for New Zealand at U-17, U-19 and U-23 levels, and was a member of the national squad that won the 2023 OFC Men’s Olympic qualifier tournament in Auckland.
In early 2024, he had a brief spell with Sydney-based St George City who play in the NSW National Premier League.
We are super pumped to have them a part of the team!
Make sure to get your Auckland FC Season Membership to see us both these boys in action all season!
