In 2009, Rowe signed for Oxfordshire CCC, making his Minor Counties Championship debut for the county against Dorset.  He would go on to play 18 championship games and 15 MCCA Knockout Trophy games between 2009 and 2013 for the county. Making a number of match winning performances throughout his 4 seasons, one notability was his hattrick against Hereford CCC in a County Championship at Banbury CC to win game that was slipping away.

Rowe currently plays in the South Wales Premier League where he has represented Swansea CC, Sully CC, Port Talbot CC and the South Wales Premier League against Glamorgan CCC in 1 day match at Sophia Gardens.
