As a player, he was a [[defender (association football)|defender]], and played in the [[Premier League]] for [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]], [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] and [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]]. He also played in the [[Football League]] for [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]], [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]], [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] and [[Burton Albion F.C.|Burton Albion]]. His professional career ended in 2004, through a knee injury. In May 2009, he was appointed assistant manager to [[Paul Peschisolido]] at Burton, and took over as manager in 2012. He was appointed the manager of Birmingham City in October 2014 and served until December 2016. He became Derby County manager in March 2017, and joined [[Stoke City F.C.|Stoke City]] in May 2018. After failing to mount a promotion challenge, he was sacked in January 2019 and was appointed manager of [[Millwall F.C.|Millwall]] that October. ==Playing career== He started his career at [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]] as a product of their [[youth system]]. He was part of the Cambridge team which achieved fifth place in the [[1991–92 Football League|1991–92 Second Division]], which remains the club's best league finish to date. They were also play-off semi-finalists that year. He was also part of their best ever [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] run when they reached the quarter-finals the following season. After three seasons at the [[Abbey Stadium]] he earned a move to the [[Premier League|Premiership]] with [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in March 1994 for £200,000. Everton won the [[1994–95 FA Cup|FA Cup]] in his first full season, but Rowett was not involved in the 1995 FA Cup run or the final against [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. After failing to break into the [[first team (association football)|first team]], Rowett went on loan to [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]] before being sold to [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] in part-exchange for [[Craig Short]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/clubbyclub-guide-the-prospects-the-players-to-watch-the-arrivals-and-departures-1596119.html |title=Club-by-club guide: The prospects, the players to watch, the arrivals and departures |first=Ian |last=Ridley |newspaper=The Independent |date=13 August 1995 |access-date=10 October 2010}}</ref> Rowett spent three seasons at Derby, followed by a two-year spell with [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]], where he helped the club reach the play-offs.
