Late to be starting a career in League football – he turns 30 at the end of the month - Rowe joined the Coasters in August 2014, signing a deal with the club just a few days before the National League North season kicked-off.

In his debut season, he scored an impressive 35 goals in all competitions as the Coasters narrowly missed out on promotion losing in the play-off semi-finals to Guiseley.

In the 2015/16 campaign, he was Fylde’s top scorer once again with 31 goals. He was also tied with Dayle Southwell of Boston United on 24 goals for the `golden boot` as Fylde agonisingly lost in the play-off final to North Ferriby United.

At the third time of asking, however, there was no denying him and Fylde as they stormed to the National League North title.

His incredible tally of 48 goals in all competitions including 47 in the league helped him gain individual recognition by being named the National League North player of the season.

He scored 24 goals in 2017/18 and went one better with 25 in 2018/19 as the Coasters lost out to Salford City in the Promotion Final at Wembley but had the consolation of winning the Buildbase FA Trophy against Leyton Orient.
