CAREER
Kye Rowles takes his first steps as a footballer in the state of Queensland, precisely in the city of Brisbane. It is precisely in the Brisbane Roar that he plays his first matches in youth football and where he makes his professional debut, in February 2017, in the Australian top flight, the A-League. With Brisbane, in the same year, he made his debut in the Asian Champions League.
At the end of 2017 he passes the Central Coast Mariners to his current team, where in a few weeks he manages to earn his place as an immovable starter, paired with Gianni Stesness, where they formed one of the best defensive pairs of the Asian ocean scene.
With the Central Coast at the moment he has played 86 games with 2 goals.
With the Aussie national team Kye made the whole process starting from the under 17 up to the Olympic national team, with which he played in the recent Tokyo Olympics, also disputing the match against the noble Spain.

​TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Kye Rowles is a central defender of the Central Coast Mariners and the Australian youth team. He took part in the last Tokyo Olympics with Australia under 23.
Kye is a grim central defender, rough in his interventions, but at the same time elegant in his slips and defensive readings. In addition to being extremely effective in his defensive interventions, he also combines great elegance and spectacularity both in slipping tackles and in setting up the game.
Rowles is very good at defending very well both in one-on-one in tight spaces, and in one-on-one in open court and depth.
In the aerial game he is clearly a guarantee as he takes advantage of all his aerial skills, capable of scoring goals thanks to his excellent insertion times in offensive indirect set pieces.
In addition to being a defender who knows how to defend, a great scorer as well as being effective in defensive readings at the right time, he can easily be able to know how to set and dictate the timing of the game. Rowles, in fact, has a very good basic technique thanks to which any team could invest in him thinking of investing him with the position of defender he sets.
Physically and athletically, Kye is a player, in my opinion, ready for the leap in quality in the European championships. Endowed with great speed and athleticism, combined with an important speed and acceleration both on the short and on the long, with which he is able to hold off the offensive sorties of the opponents forwards.
Physically he is 185 centimeters tall and muscularly he is able to hold up in the physical duel even with opponents much more structured than him.
I highly recommend buying this tough, grim and handsome defender. The perfect prototype of the modern defender, capable of doing everything, from the destruction of the game, to the interception to the setting.

CHARACTERIAL DESCRIPTION

                           SCOUTING CONCLUSION & PREVISION
Kye is a player that for intensity, athleticism is perfect for the Scandinavian environement. The stats also show that his impact in the league would be more than average considering his current experience in A-League and national team; we can find in the Scandinavia's countries a very good tradition of players coming from Australia that reflect perfectly the kind of player and charachter that is wanted: hard worker, quiet, professional and concentrated, exactly the description of Kye. Considering that he has Australian passport its very important for a hypotetically future sell in Asia since there are very strict rules about using Asian players which in some cases is a very rich market. ​
