James Colvin Rowe is an English professional football manager and former player. He is the manager of Chesterfield.

Early life

Rowe, the son of former football manager Colwyn Rowe, was born and grew up in Ipswich, Suffolk,[2] where he attended St Joseph's College.[3] In his youth he played for Luton Town and Charlton Athletic.[4]

Playing career

After being released by Charlton at age 18, Rowe joined Southern Football League Premier Division club Ilkeston Town.[5] He subsequently joined Histon, where he scored 30 goals as an 18 year old, however, a serious knee injury interrupted Rowe's progress.[6] In 2004, he joined Heybridge Swifts.[7] Afterwards, he joined Stamford and Grantham Town for short spells, before signing with Rugby Town in July 2005.[8] However, he left Rugby Town after three games by mutual consent, following being fined by the club for dissent.[6] He subsequently returned to Histon, before joining Needham Market for the remainder of 2005-06.[9] He signed with AFC Sudbury in 2006, where his father Colwyn and uncles Gary and Paul Barker previously played, remaining with them until the end of 2008.[9][10] In January 2009, he joined Leiston, where he scored 20 goals in his first 12 games.[11] In July 2009, he joined Canvey Island.[12] In 2010, he began working for Birmingham City in a part-time academy coaching role, which allowed him to continue to play, where he joined Leamington in 2010.[13] He departed at the end of the season to work full-time with Birmingham.[14] In 2013, following a gap in his playing career due to his coaching commitments, he rejoined former club Canvey Island, scoring once in four appearances.[15][16]

Youth coaching career

He retired from playing at age 27, moving into coaching. He joined Birmingham City, as the Academy's head of education and coach for the U16 and U17 teams.[17] He stayed at Birmingham for three years,[5] before joining the Premier League as a coaching advisor, where he was responsible for providing technical reports on Academy teams across England and Europe.[18] Afterwards, he joined West Ham United as assistant academy manager.[19][20]

In 2015, Rowe left West Ham,[21] to attend the Johan Cruyff Institute in Amsterdam, where he earned a masters degree in coaching.[22][23]

Managerial career

Aldershot Town (assistant)

In June 2016, Rowe was appointed assistant manager with National League club Aldershot Town under manager Gary Waddock.,[18] extending his contract a year later.[24] Despite interest from League Two clubs, Waddock and Rowe remained at Aldershot,[25][26] guiding the Shots to two successive play-off positions in 2016–17 and 2017-18.[27] Rowe left Aldershot in January 2019, by mutual consent.[28]

Gloucester City

In November 2019, Rowe was appointed manager of sixth-tier National League North side Gloucester City,[29][30] having been approached while at Aldershot 12 months earlier.[31][32]. In the summer of 2020 Rowe transformed the playing squad bringing in players whom he has previously worked with such as Akwasi Asante [33] before beginning the 2020-21 National League North season with four consecutive league wins, equalling their best league start in 78 years, and eight wins through nine matches.[34]

Chesterfield

This led to him being offered and accepting a contract extension for an undisclosed period fending off League Two club interest [38][39]. The impressive form continued [40] and on 12th April 2021, Rowe was awarded with the league's Manager of the Month award for the previous month as his side won six out of seven games, conceding zero goals in these wins..[41] Following back to back wins in the last two league fixtures Rowe guided Chesterfield to a 6th place finish securing them to the National League promotion playoffs [42][43].
