Rowley Links Up With Development Squad

Rowley is a versatile defender who came through the youth ranks operating at left-back, but last season went on to put in some excellent displays for United’s Under-21s in a new central midfield role. 

As well as impressing at Under-18s and Under-21s level domestically, the youngster has represented the Red Devils with distinction in the UEFA Youth League too – making his debut in a 4-3 win over Bayer Leverkusen in September last year. 

Born in Nuneaton and previously on the books at Walsall before joining Manchester United as a 15-year-old, Rowley’s appearances last season were limited slightly by injury, but he did force his way into the team with an impressive run of form in latter stages of the season. 

A strong, aggressive player, blessed with a great engine and appetite for a tackle, Rowley will undoubtedly add some quality to an already strong Development Squad at King Power Stadium in time for the new Barclays U21 Premier League season.
