Career

Early career

Born in Blackpool,[2] Rowe played youth football with Preston North End before joining Manchester United as a 12-year-old in 2001 for a fee determined at tribunal that could potentially have reached a six-figure sum, however, he was released by United aged sixteen.[3][4] He then began a joinery apprenticeship at a building site in Blackpool.[5]

He began his senior career in non-league with Blackpool Wren Rovers,[6] where he scored 63 goals in 68 games between August 2008 and August 2010.[7] He also played Sunday league football for Quilligans.[5]

He joined Kendal Town for whom he debuted in the club's 1–0 Northern Premier League at home to Frickley Athletic on 21 August 2010.[8] He moved up two divisions four months later when he joined Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee.[9][10][11] from whom he spent loan spells at Droylsden, Stockport County, and Barrow moving on to join Lincoln City.[2][12][13][14]

AFC Fylde

On 8 August 2014, Rowe joined Conference North side AFC Fylde after featuring for the club during pre-season.[15] During his third season at the club, Rowe scored fifty goals in all competitions as Fylde won promotion to the National League, his fiftieth and final goal coming on a final day 4–2 victory over Worcester City,[16] these efforts securing him the league's Player of the Year award,[17] as well as the club's Player of the Season, Goal of the Season, Golden Boot and Players' Player of the Season awards.[18] He also won the Player of the Year award for both the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons.[19][20] Rowe scored the only goal of the game as Fylde defeated Leyton Orient to lift the FA Trophy.[21] He asked to leave Fylde in January 2020, with the club putting him on the transfer list.[22] He later said that he wished to play in the Football League but realise that would not be possible with Fylde.[5]

Oldham Athletic

He moved to Oldham Athletic later that month for an undisclosed fee, signing an 18-month contract.[23] He made his debut for the club on 18 January 2020, coming off of the bench in a 1–1 draw with Carlisle United.[24] He scored his first goal for the club the following week, in his first start for the club.[25] In November 2020, Rowe's 35 yard free kick won the league's goal of the month award.[26]

Bradford City

In January 2021 he was linked with a transfer to Bradford City,[27] signing an 18-month contract with the club later that month for an undisclosed fee.[28][29][30] Interim club manager Conor Sellars described Rowe as "exciting" and said that he could help the club score more goals.[31] Rowe said he was "shocked" by the size of Bradford City's stadium.[32]

Rowe made his debut for the club on 23 January in a 0–0 draw with Cambridge United, and scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 victory at Southend United 3 days later.[33] After 2 goals in 3 games he was ruled out due to a heavy cold.[34]
