Playing career

Rowbotham played for Cheddleton Mental Hospital before joining Port Vale in April 1931.[1] He scored on his debut in a 1–0 win over Bradford City at The Old Recreation Ground on the last day of the season on 2 May 1931.[1] The next season he was only used as a back-up player however, and he scored one goal in a 4–1 win over Preston North End at Deepdale on 24 October, making six Second Division appearances.[1] He was released upon the end of the season and moved on to Southampton via Hyde United. He did not feature in the 1932–33 season and moved on to Accrington Stanley, playing four Third Division North games in 1933–34. He then scored 14 goals in 59 Third Division North games for Barrow in 1934–35 and 1935–36. Rowbotham played 19 Third Division North games for Rochdale in 1936–37, scoring one goal, before he joined non-league Tunbridge Wells Rangers.

gollark: What?
gollark: It doesn't really do anything particularly interesting on its own.
gollark: Well, you seem to like running it on 1.7.10 - which skynet doesn't support - you may have a different modpack, you have no idea what it does (probably), and you haven't explained why you need it.
gollark: No.
gollark: I knew the choice of name was a good idea.
