Jonathan David Henry Rowe (born 30 April 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for club Atalanta, on loan from Bologna.

Club career

Norwich City A youth product of Norwich City, Rowe signed his first professional contract with the club on 20 October 2021.

He was nominated for the December 2021 Premier League 2 player of the month after some impressive performances for Norwich City's Under-23s. He made his professional debut with Norwich on 28 December 2021, coming on as a late substitute in the 68th minute in a 3–0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace.

His first-team breakthrough came at the beginning of the 2023–24 season, establishing himself through five goals in the first five games in all competitions. These impressive performances saw him awarded the EFL Young Player of the Month award for August 2023.

Rowe was awarded the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month in January for the goal he scored against Hull City on 11 January 2024.

Rowe was shortlisted for the 2024 EFL Awards for EFL Championship Young Player of the Season alongside Archie Gray and Jordan James.

Marseille On 23 August 2024, Rowe joined Ligue 1 club Marseille on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy for €15 million with add-ons included. He made his debut with the club in a 2–2 draw against Reims on 25 August, and scored his first goal in a 3–2 victory over Lyon on 22 September. On 14 May 2025, it was reported that Rowe would transfer permanently to Marseille via the obligation to buy clause in the loan contract.

On 19 August 2025, Marseille announced that they had transfer-listed Rowe and team-mate Adrien Rabiot due to what they called "unacceptable behaviour" in the dressing room after a 1–0 away defeat to Stade Rennais. Manager, Roberto De Zerbi, said “it was a bar fight, in front of the sporting director, in front of the coach” and that “no teeth were broken during the fight, but it was a fight like I've never seen in all my years in football” and added the ferocity of the confrontation shocked those present.

Bologna On 24 August 2025, Rowe signed with Serie A club Bologna in Italy. Later that year, on 4 December, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 win over Parma in the Coppa Italia.

Atalanta On 1 September 2026, Rowe joined Serie A side Atalanta on a initial season-long loan, with both possibilities and obligations to make the transfer permanent upon the fulfillment of certain conditions.

International career Born in England, Rowe is of Jamaican descent and holds dual British-Jamaican citizenship. In October 2023, he received his first call-up to the England under-21 national team for two 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Serbia and Ukraine. He then made his debut for the Young Lions in the former game, on 12 October, coming on as a substitute for Liam Delap in the 69th minute; he went on to score his first goal for the team, contributing to a 9–1 win.

Rowe took part in the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, scoring from a Tino Livramento cross in England's first match of the tournament, a 3–1 win against the Czech Republic. He then featured in the final and scored the winning goal in a 3–2 win against Germany in the 92nd minute during extra time, flicking a cross from Tyler Morton into the bottom-left corner of the net.
