Bailey George Rowe (born 5 March 2002) is a British Virgin Islands footballer who currently plays for the under-16 side of Weymouth, and the British Virgin Islands national team. He is the youngest goalscorer in the history of the BVI senior national side.[3]
Club career[]
As of March 2018, Rowe plays for the under-16 side of Weymouth of the Southern League Premier South.[4] Rowe scored two goals in the final of the Under-15 Dorset Youth County Cup as Weymouth defeated Merley Cobham Sports 5–1.[5] That season, the team completed the treble by also winning the League Cup and County Cup. Rowe scored against Dorchester Magpies in the 5–3 victory in League Cup final.[6] For the 2018 season, the club finished 4th in the Division One of the Dorset Youth Football League.[7]
International career[]
In 2017 Rowe was part of the British Virgin Islands' under-15 squad which participated in the 2017 CONCACAF Under-15 Championship.[4] Rowe led the front line throughout the tournament. He scored a hat-trick against Turks and Caicos[8] and, in the final match of the group stage alone, scored four times in the first half of an 8–2 victory over Montserrat.[9] The side topped its group in the tournament before losing to French Guiana in the knockout round.[10]
Rowe was called up the senior squad for the first time at the age of 15 in April 2018 for a training camp at the Milton Abbey School in Milton Abbas, England.[11][4] He played for the team against his club team, Weymouth, in a friendly match at Bob Lucas Stadium on 14 April. Rowe came on as a first-half substitute, changing the flow of the match and nearly scoring several times.[12] After the match Weymouth manager Mark Molesley remarked about Rowe, "He is a young lad with a bright future, he looked good, he moved well."[13]
He was called up to the senior squad again in July 2018 at the age of 16. About the call-up BVI Assistant Manager Dan Neville said, "...He is always likely to get you a goal and I think his call-up has been justified."[7] As part of the camp, he made his senior international debut on 25 July 2018 in a friendly against Sint Maarten. After coming on as a second-half substitute, Rowe scored his first senior international goal, the game-winner of the 3–2 victory.[14][15] With the goal Rowe secured the BVI's first away victory since 2011 and became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the senior national team.[3] Two days later, he participated with the senior national team in a two-day, four-team unofficial tournament held in Saint Barthélemy. He appeared in the British Virgin Islands matches against Saint Martin and the hosts.[16] The British Virgin Islands Football Association called the string of results the, "best result in over a decade."[17]
