Jonathan David Henry Rowe (born 30 April 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Italian Serie A club Bologna.

Club career

Norwich City

A youth product of Norwich City, Rowe signed his first professional contract with the club on 20 October 2021. ^[5]

He was nominated for the December 2021 Premier League 2 player of the month after some impressive performances for Norwich City's Under-23s. He made his professional debut with Norwich on 28 December 2021, coming on as a late substitute in the 68th minute in a 3–0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace. ^[6]

His first-team breakthrough came at the beginning of the 2023–24 season, establishing himself through five goals in the first five games in all competitions. ^[7] These impressive performances saw him awarded the EFL Young Player of the Month award for August 2023. ^[8]

Rowe was awarded the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month in January for the goal he scored against Hull City on 11 January 2024. ^[9]

Rowe was shortlisted for the 2024 EFL Awards for EFL Championship Young Player of the Season alongside Archie Gray and Jordan James ^[10]

Marseille

On 23 August 2024, Rowe joined Ligue 1 club Marseille on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy for €15 million with add-ons included. ^{[11] [12]} He made his debut with the club in a 2–2 draw against Reims on 25 August, ^[13] and scored his first goal in a 3–2 victory over Lyon on 22 September. ^{[14] [15]} On 14 May 2025, it was reported that Rowe would transfer permanently to Marseille via the obligation to buy clause in the loan contract. ^[16]

On 19 August 2025, Marseille announced that they had transfer-listed Rowe and team-mate Adrien Rabiot due to what they called "unacceptable behaviour" in the dressing room after a 1–0 away defeat to Stade Rennais. ^[17]

Bologna

On 24 August 2025, Rowe signed with Serie A club Bologna in Italy. ^[18]

International career

Born in England, Rowe is of Jamaican descent and holds dual British-Jamaican citizenship. ^[19] In October 2023, he received his first call-up to the England under-21 national team for two 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Serbia and Ukraine. ^{[20] [21]} He then made his debut for the Young Lions in the former game, on 12 October, coming on as a substitute for Liam Delap in the 69th minute; ^[22] he went on to score his first goal for the team, contributing to a 9–1 win. ^{[22] [23]}

Rowe took part in the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, scoring from a Tino Livramento cross in England's first match of the tournament, a 3–1 win against the Czech Republic. ^[24] He then featured in the final and scored the winning goal in a 3–2 win against Germany in the 92nd minute during extra time, flicking a cross from Tyler Morton into the bottom-left corner of the net. ^[25]
