Rowan Lewis Vine (born 21 September 1982 in Basingstoke, England) is an English footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Queens Park Rangers.
Career
Vine began his career at Portsmouth, making his way through the club's youth scheme. He made his first-team debut in a goalless draw with Sheffield United in December 2000 at the age of 18.[1] However, he struggled to break through into the side on a regular basis and was loaned out to Division Two side Brentford for the 2002–03 season.
Vine enjoyed a successful campaign at Griffin Park, netting his first ever goal on his debut in a 2–0 win at Huddersfield Town, and going on to score 13 further goals in 44 starts for the Bees.[1] Despite his impressive season, he was again loaned out, this time to Colchester United for the 2003–04 campaign where he scored 10 league goals in 30 starts.[1][2]
For the third year running, Vine spent an entire season away from Portsmouth on loan, this time at Luton Town for the 2004–05 season.[1][3] Vine's nine goals helped the Hatters clinch the League One title. Despite this relative lack of goals for a striker during a season, a section in the Luton News newspaper showed that Vine was the "King of Assists" – one of the main reasons for the Hatters' success.
Vine signed for Luton for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £250,000, on 4 July 2005.[4] In his first season after his permanent move to the club, he scored 10 goals in 30 games after missing the start of the season with a back injury.[1] Again, he was near the top of the assist charts, proving his worth further to Luton Town.
On 11 January 2007, a £2.5m deal with Birmingham City saw Vine leave Luton, which later rose to £3m when Birmingham gained promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.[5] Vine's only goal in his short stay at St Andrew's came in a 1-0 win over Derby County.[1]
On 2 October 2007, he joined Queens Park Rangers on loan until November 2007;[6] when this expired, it was extended until 1 January 2008.[7] Vine signed for Queens Park Rangers on a four-and-a-half-year contract on 8 January 2008 for a fee of £1m.[8]
Vine suffered a serious fracture of his left tibia and fibula on 3 April 2008 during a training session.[9] He did not make another first-team appearance until April 2009, and has since been used mainly as a substitute.
