Having joined Manchester United's academy at the age of six, Rothwell signed professional terms with the club in the summer of 2013.[2] On 26 July 2011, he scored twice in a 7–0 win over County Tyrone in the Milk Cup.[3] He was named as a substitute for a first-team game against Watford in March 2016.[4]
Blackpool (loan)
On 27 January 2015, Rothwell joined Blackpool, then in last place in the Championship, on loan for the remainder of the season.[5] Four days later he was included in a professional matchday squad for the first time, remaining an unused substitute for Blackpool's 1–0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Bloomfield Road.[6] A week later he made his debut as Blackpool lost 0–4 away to Norwich City, replacing Mark Waddington at half time.[7] His first career start came on 24 February, playing the entirety of a defeat by the same score at Brentford, his last of three appearances for the club.[8]
Barnsley (loan)
On 18 July 2015, Rothwell joined League One side Barnsley on a six-month loan.[9] He played four League games (two as a substitute) and made one appearance in the opening round of the Football League Trophy,[10] a competition Barnsley ultimately won, beating Oxford United.[11]
Oxford United
On 12 July 2016, Rothwell joined Oxford on a two-year deal after turning down the offer of a new contract at Manchester United.[4] He scored the first senior goal of his career in an FA Cup second-round replay against Macclesfield Town on 13 December 2016, a game which Oxford won 3–0.[12] His first league goal came in a 5–1 win over Bury on 28 March 2017.[13]
