But now the possibility of a move to Scottish Premier League side Hibs has hit the headlines. The transfer would technically be an 'international' transfer and Town would not be eligible for compensation, under the Bosman ruling.
However, the move depends on the future of Hibs' striker Derek Riordan, who is being courted by Celtic.
In England, League One sides Rotheram and Walsall have emerged as possible destinations for Rodgers, and Crewe are also thought to be keen.
Hibs have qualified for the UEFA cup next year, after finishing third in the SPL last season, and this would certainly appeal to Rodgers' desire to play at a higher level.
