Gareth Rowe (born 17 January 1977) is a football (soccer) player who plays for Canterbury United and has represented New Zealand at international level.[1]
Rowe is recognised as one of the best defenders in New Zealand domestic football. When the decision was made in 2003 to play New Zealand's national league as a summer competition he declined to take part but decided for the 09-10 season, potentially the last one for summer football, to play for Canterbury United.
Rowe represented New Zealand at under 20 level[2] before making his full All Whites debut as a substitute in a 7-0 win over Papua New Guinea on 11 June 1997[3] and ended his international playing career with seven A-international caps to his credit,[4] his last cap an appearance in a 2-0 win over Malaysia on 19 August 2000.
