Matthew Rose, (born 24 September 1975 in Dartford, Kent ), is a former English professional footballer who currently is Head coach of Arsenal's European Elite Academy.
Rose started at Arsenal as a trainee, captaining his side to an FA Youth Cup victory in 1994; he made his first-team debut against Manchester City on 5 March 1996. He made five appearances (three as sub) for the Gunners before moving to QPR for £500,000 in May 1997. His last game in an Arsenal shirt saw him score an own goal although they went on to win 2-1. He became a regular at QPR and made over 250 appearances for them in all competitions. One of the more important of the 8 goals he scored there was in September 2004 to seal a last minute 3-2 win at Brighton with a left-foot curling shot into the top corner.[1] He was released from his contract by John Gregory in January 2007 and left the club. On 23 February, Matthew signed for League One side Yeovil Town.[2] He scored his first and what turned out to be only goal for Yeovil against Bristol Rovers in October 2007.[3] At the end of the 2007-2008 season Matthew rejected a new contract offer from Yeovil Town.[4]
