Club career

Early career

Rowe went to South Eugene High School, where he was voted best defensive player in 2005 and MVP in 2006.[1] He also was first team all-district in 2005 and 2006.[2] Rowe spent four seasons at UCLA. During the 2010 and 2011 seasons, he started all 44 games that the club played and kept 20 clean sheets in that time. He finished his UCLA career with a 37–8–5 record.[3]

Chivas USA selected Rowe in the second round (No. 24 overall) of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft. Rowe didn't earn a contract with Chivas USA, but did sign as a MLS League Pool goalkeeper.[3]

Toronto FC

On March 24, 2012, Rowe was signed to Toronto FC on an emergency basis.[4] He was with the club until the signing of Quillan Roberts on April 10, 2012.[5]

LA Galaxy

On July 13, 2012, Rowe signed for Major League Soccer giants LA Galaxy.[6][7] After signing for the Galaxy, he served as back-up goalkeeper for the 2–0 defeat against Seattle Sounders on May 2, and subsequently in a consecutive 1–0 defeat at home to New York three days later.[3]

On April 27, 2013, he made his debut against Real Salt Lake with first-choice keeper, Carlo Cudicini out with a leg strain and backup keeper Brian Perk just returning from a sports-hernia surgery. His performance earned him a clean-sheet and helped the Galaxy to a 2–0 victory.[8]

Vancouver Whitecaps

On December 15, 2017, Rowe was traded by LA to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft.[9]
