Club career

Rowe began his career in the youth set-up at Weymouth of the Southern League Premier South. [2] Rowe scored two goals in the final of the Under-15 Dorset Youth County Cup as Weymouth defeated Merley Cobham Sports 5–1. [3] That season, the team completed the treble by also winning the League Cup and County Cup. Rowe scored against Dorchester Magpies in the 5–3 victory in League Cup final. [4] For the 2018 season, the club finished 4th in the Division One of the Dorset Youth Football League. [5]

Rowe later signed for Poole Town. [6]

In January 2022 he joined Hamworthy United as part of an effort to regain match fitness as a long-term injury.

International career

In 2017 Rowe was part of the British Virgin Islands' under-15 squad which participated in the 2017 CONCACAF Under-15 Championship. [2] Rowe led the front line throughout the tournament. He scored a hat-trick against Turks and Caicos [7] and, in the final match of the group stage alone, scored four times in the first half of an 8–2 victory over Montserrat. [8] The side topped its group in the tournament before losing to French Guiana in the knockout round. [9]

Rowe was called up the senior squad for the first time at the age of 15 in April 2018 for a training camp at the Milton Abbey School in Milton Abbas, England. [10] [2] He played for the team against his club team, Weymouth, in a friendly match at Bob Lucas Stadium on 14 April. Rowe came on as a first-half substitute, changing the flow of the match and nearly scoring several times. [11] After the match Weymouth manager Mark Molesley remarked about Rowe, "He is a young lad with a bright future, he looked good, he moved well." [12]

He was called up to the senior squad again in July 2018 at the age of 16. About the call-up BVI Assistant Manager Dan Neville said, "...He is always likely to get you a goal and I think his call-up has been justified." [5] As part of the camp, he made his senior international debut on 25 July 2018 in a friendly against Sint Maarten. After coming on as a second-half substitute, Rowe scored his first senior international goal, the game-winner of the 3–2 victory. [13] [14] With the goal Rowe secured the BVI's first away victory since 2011 and became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the senior national team. [1] Two days later, he participated with the senior national team in a two-day, four-team unofficial tournament held in Saint Barthélemy. He appeared in the British Virgin Islands matches against Saint Martin and the hosts. [15] The British Virgin Islands Football Association called the string of results the, "best result in over a decade." [16]
