As a youth Rouse was with Stockport County and then on Bury's books, before moving into coaching while playing semi-professional football. He worked for eight years at Manchester United, where he worked with young goalkeepers such as Luke Steele, Tom Heaton, Tommy Lee, Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone and Luke Daniels.

In September 2017, Rouse was named as the goalkeeping coach for the Chinese Taipei national football team.[5]
