“He’s a quiet lad, 18, he’s come through and he’s still learning the game.
“Joe’s not the kind of person who would get carried away because he’s played a lot of league games now, he’s a very level headed fella and a great player.
“If he continues the way he’s going and keeping his feet on the ground he’s got a bright future.
“I’m sure he’s got a bright, bright future ahead of him.”
Rowley broke into the first team under Gary Caldwell late last season and, after recovering from a broken collar bone sustained in the summer, has been ever present for Jack Lester this season.
