Notts County’s Luke Rodgers Denied US Work Permit

By Chris Wright


Notts County striker Luke Rodger‘s move to MLS side New York Red Bulls is in jeopardy, after seeing his application for a US work permit denied today due to a past misdemeanour.

The 28-year-old forward has a conviction for affray in the UK (dating back to 2003) after being fined and ordered to perform community service for releasing a firework in a pub car park that struck a young girl in the face.

Rodger’s failure to secure a work permit means that his potential transfer to the American side has almost no chance of being completed before Thursday’s deadline.
