Playing career

West Bromwich Albion

Rowley began his career as an amateur at Wolverhampton Wanderers before turning professional with West Bromwich Albion in 1944. However, he struggled at The Hawthorns both to score goals and gain a regular place in the first team.

Fulham

Albion sold Rowley early in the 1948-49 season to Fulham, where he immediately found his goal-scoring touch, scoring 19 goals in 22 appearance as he helped the side to the Second Division title.

Rowley failed to recapture his form in the First Division as he scored only 8 goals.

Leicester City

At the end of his first season in the top flight (1950) he was sold to Leicester City. He spent the next eight years at the club, during which time he scored 251 league goals, including 44 goals in 42 games as he led Leicester to the Second Division title in 1957.

Shrewsbury Town

In the summer of 1958 Rowley left Leicester, who were playing in the First Division, to become the player-manager of Shrewsbury Town of the newly-created Fourth Division. In his first season at the Gay Meadow Rowley led Shrewsbury to promotion with a haul of 38 goals in 43 games. He spent the next six years as a player with the club, during which time he scored a total of 152 league goals.

Management career

Sheffield United

After retiring as a player Rowley managed Shrewsbury for another four years before becoming manager of Sheffield United on July 11, 1968. United had just been relegated to Division Two but despite good signings who would later gain the team promotion, results were disappointing and he was sacked on August 6 1969.

Later career

He managed Southend United from 1970 to 1976 and was also assistant manager of Telford United and manager of non-league Knighton Town and Oswestry Town before leaving football.[2]
