Jonathan David Henry Rowe (born 30 April 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ligue 1 club Marseille.
Club career
Norwich City
A youth product of Norwich City, Rowe signed his first professional contract with the club on 20 October 2021.[5]
He was nominated for the December 2021 Premier League 2 player of the month after some impressive performances for Norwich City's Under-23s. He made his professional debut with Norwich on 28 December 2021, coming on as a late substitute in the 68th minute in a 3–0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace.[6]
His first-team breakthrough came at the beginning of the 2023–24 season, establishing himself through five goals in the first five games in all competitions.[7] These impressive performances saw him awarded the EFL Young Player of the Month award for August 2023.[8]
Rowe was awarded the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month in January for the goal he scored against Hull City on 11 January 2024.[9]
Rowe was shortlisted for the 2024 EFL Awards for EFL Championship Young Player of the Season alongside Archie Gray and Jordan James[10]
Marseille
On 23 August 2024, Rowe joined Ligue 1 club Marseille on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy for €15 million with add-ons included.[11][12] He made his debut with the club in a 2–2 draw against Reims on 25 August,[13] and scored his first goal in a 3–2 victory over Lyon on 22 September.[14][15]
On August 19 2025, Marseille said it had put Rowe and team mate Adrien Rabiot on the transfer list due to what it called "unacceptable behavior" in the dressing room after a 1-0 away defeat to Stade Rennais.[16]
International career
Born in England, Rowe is of Jamaican descent and holds dual British-Jamaican citizenship.[17] In October 2023, he received his first call-up to the England under-21 national team for two 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Serbia and Ukraine.[18][19] He then made his debut for the Young Lions in the former game, on 12 October, coming on as a substitute for Liam Delap in the 69th minute;[20] he went on to score his first goal for the team, contributing to a 9–1 win.[20][21]
Rowe took part in the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, scoring from a Tino Livramento cross in England's first match of the tournament, a 3–1 win against the Czech Republic.[22] He then featured in the final and scored the winning goal in a 3–2 win against Germany in the 92nd minute during Extra time, flicking a cross from Tyler Morton into the bottom-left corner of the net.[23]
