Joe Rowley

Rowley departed National League outfit Fylde in the summer of 2024 following a two-year spell with the Coasters in which he managed to gain promotion from the National League North in the 2022-23 campaign.

Born in Sheffield, Rowley came through the youth ranks at Chesterfield and was a highly rated talent throughout the Spireites academy. When the time came to make the natural progression to the first team, the 25-year-old thrived and went on to make over 100 appearances for the Derbyshire side over a five-year period. A former England C international, Rowley had a further spell in the Iron’s current division with expected promotion rivals King's Lynn Town.

Over the course of his trial spell throughout pre-season, Rowley impressed over the course of his two-game probation and hence coaxed United first-team manager Andy Butler into snapping him up at the first opportunity.
