Club career

edit

Rowe is recognised as one of the best defenders in New Zealand domestic football. When the decision was made in 2003 to play New Zealand's national league as a summer competition he declined to take part but decided for the 09-10 season, potentially the last one for summer football, to play for Canterbury United.

Rowe represented New Zealand at under 20 level[2] before making his full All Whites debut as a substitute in a 7-0 win over Papua New Guinea on 11 June 1997[3] and ended his international playing career with seven A-international caps to his credit,[1][4] his last cap an appearance in a 2-0 win over Malaysia on 19 August 2000.[3]
