Ryan Rowe joined Leamington in the summer of 2016 having been well known to Brakes supporters from his time at Stourbridge. He hit the ground running, scoring twice on his debut in a 3-1 win over Cirencester, and scored all of his 15 goals for the club in the first 3 months of the season. Unfortunately he was not around to share in the success with his team mates at the end of the season as issues outside of football ended his time at the club.
Always a prolific goalscorer in Midlands Non League football, Ryan joined Stourbridge after winning the Midland Alliance Golden Boot in 2008/09 in his first season at Cradley Town, and went on to score 73 times in 146 games before signing for hometown club Kidderminster Harriers for an undisclosed five figure fee in February 2012.
After 14 goals in 60 appearances over 2 and a half seasons at Aggborough, the 27 year old joined Brackley Town having spent a loan spell with the Northamptonshire side the previous season, along with another spell back at Stourbridge.
After a season at St James’ Park, Ryan joined fellow National League North side Worcester City, only to switch to AFC Telford United a little over a month into the 2015/16 season. With the Bucks struggling at the wrong end of the table for most of the season, Ryan spent the final two months of the campaign at Midland League Premier Division side Lye Town, scoring 15 times in as many games.
