Luke Rowe

any news on where luke rowe has landed?

From what I understand he's not playing.

Wow that's quite sad. He went from FSE/Miramar to not even playing? I thought he was OK last year when he played club footy and for the Nix.

I seem to remember, after he was let go from FSE he went back to the UK to look for a contract, didn't he?
I wonder if he's just sick of trying to get into a pro-environment or if he's (maybe, I don't know him at all) doesn't want to settle for a lower (like Non-Conference!) team?

Shame, I always thought he had some potential

edit: I know he only played once for the Nix, but I guess I want to give him credit for his good performance

A left back without a club? Sounds like a shoe in for the All Whites

..but seriously, wasn't he in the All Whites at some point? And how old is he? 20, 21? 

Shame if he hasn't picked up a club. If he plays non-league then will be one of the few with his own stats page on the FIFA website (all players who have played in a FIFA tournament have one): http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/players/player=336344/

One full cap for the All Whites in the World Cup qualifier away in Honiara last year on 26/3/13

Played every NZ game FIFA u-20 World Cup 2011 in Colombia (v Uruguay 1-1, v Cameroons 1-1, v Portugal 0-1)

You'd think a lot of managers looking at that sort of record would want to give him a trial, especialy since he was born in England and was on Birmingham's books.

Seems to be living in Coventry and is advertising himself as a player or coach:

No news of him playing on his Twitter:

^ That's exactly what I meant, Pete (minus all the stats obviously ahahah)!

But yeah he's not a bad player...surprised he has had NO GIGS at all...

it would be interesting to see if ernie will re-consider him since louis out for the season, plus manny and box don't exactly fit the pace policy. I really enjoyed him when he played against the heart last season, same with tom biss (does anyone now whats happend to him?).

But Louis has been out for 3-4 weeks already and Ernie hasn't signed anyone (apart from that australian fullback for 2 weeks right??).

I think if he rated Rowe, or Hogg, or anyone else...they would have been brought it at least for a trial, if not already signed up. I do worry about what will happen if Boxall or Manny got injured or suspended..

Can't see Ernie wanting Luke Rowe if he hasn't played at all.. would say Ian Hogg would be a better bet, and Justin Gulley above him.

Biss at HBU

Rowe is still training/playing and working hard in the UK

Level 8 in the English Football League system...

What a shame, thought he was at a lot better level than that. He's still young, but it'll be a long road from here.

I'm surprised he's gone to a team that low. He could be playing at a much better level. At least Conference Premier level. Maybe he felt it was his only option and for now he'd rather at least be playing?

Very close to where he grew up I think, so possibly isn't taking it particularly seriously.

Yeah based on his twitter and instagram he's very much a family man. I wish the kid well.
