Gary Rowett (born 6 March 1974 in Bromsgrove) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender.

He started his career at Cambridge United, a product of their youth system before earning a move to the Premiership with Everton in March 1994 for £200,000. After failing to break into the first team, Rowett went on loan to Blackpool before being sold to Derby County, with whom he enjoyed a good three-year spell.

Rowett also played for Birmingham City, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic. A persistent knee injury put an end to his career in the Football League, though he did play for Burton Albion before retiring.

Rowett is a Birmingham City fan regularly reviewing the live kick by kick action of Blues' fortunes with fellow Blue Tom Ross on BRMB.
