Career

After playing for Newcastle United's under-16 team, the midfielder was signed by League One club Hartlepool United after a successful trial in January 2006.

He signed an early first team contract in January 2008 to keep him with North-East club, due to apparent interest from other clubs.

Rowell was named on the first team bench in the 2007–08 season against Crewe Alexandra and Bristol Rovers, however in both games he was an unused sub. Later in the season, an injury in a reserve team match ruled him out for the rest of the season. He went on to win the Youth team Supporters` Player of the Year at the end of the season.

Rowell made his first start for Hartlepool United the season after in a Football League Trophy game against fellow League One side Leicester City in September 2008, however Hartlepool went on to lose this match 3–0.[1] He made his first ever League start for an injury struck Hartlepool, just three months later against Hereford United. Ex-Hartlepool boss Danny Wilson said that he thought "Rowell's debut was.terrific".[2] He was then released by Chris Turner at the end of the 2009–10 season and signed for Belgian Third Division B side Olympic Charleroi on 7 July 2010.[3]

Rowell went on trial at Conference National side Gateshead in August 2011, featuring for a Gateshead XI against Team Northumbria on 3 August.[4] Three days later, he came off the bench against Guiseley, setting up Jon Shaw for the only goal of the game.[5]

At the end of the 2010-11 season, he signed for Belgian Second Division side Waasland-Beveren on a free transfer.
