Jonathan Michael "Jonny" Rowell (born 10 September 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder.
[citation needed] Rowell was named in the first team squad in the 2007–08 season against Crewe Alexandra and Bristol Rovers, however in both games he was an unused sub.
[4] He was then released by Hartlepool at the end of the 2009–10 season and signed for Belgian Third Division B side Olympic Charleroi on 7 July 2010[5] where he soon became a fan favourite.
After leaving Waasland-Beveren, Rowell missed out on a season of football because of deals falling through and broken promises.
In September 2020, Dender coach Regi Van Acker confirmed that he had turned a transfer bid for Rowell from fellow National Division 1 side K.S.V.
[14] Following Dender's promotion to the Belgian Pro League, it was announced in June 2024 that Rowell had left the club following the expiration of his contract.
[20][21] Only five days later, Rowell scored in a 2-0 derby win for Dender EH against RWD Molenbeek[22] – a game that his wife insisted he played in.
