Gary Rowett (born 6 March 1974 in Bromsgrove) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. In May 2009 he was appointed assistant manager to Paul Peschisolido at Burton Albion.
[edit] Career
He started his career at Cambridge United, a product of their youth system before earning a move to the Premiership with Everton in March 1994 for £200,000. After failing to break into the first team, Rowett went on loan to Blackpool before being sold to Derby County in part-exchange for Craig Short.[1] Rowett enjoyed a good three-year spell with Derby, and also played for Birmingham City, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic, where he scored once against Sunderland.[2] A persistent knee injury put an end to his career in the Football League, though he did play for Burton Albion before retiring.
Rowett reviewed Birmingham matches with Tom Ross on radio station BRMB, and for the 2008–09 season, summarised matches involving Derby County for BBC Radio Derby.[3]
In May 2009, Rowett was named as assistant to newly-appointed manager Paul Peschisolido at Burton Albion.[4]
