Bio
Recruited from the Eaglehawk Football Club in the Bendigo Football League, Claude Rowe joined North Melbourne as a 24-year-old prospect during the 1929 season. The younger brother of former Richmond player Joe Rowe, he was granted a brief trial in the senior side, making his debut in a home loss to Carlton. He retained his spot for the following week's match against Fitzroy, where he managed to boot his only VFL goal. Unable to cement a regular place in the lineup, his career at the top level was short-lived, and he later served in the Australian Army during World War II.
