, Kent
and joined Gillingham
as a youth player. Whilst still a trainee he made his professional debut as a 14th minute sub stitute in Gillingham's 2–1 defeat at Crewe Alexandra
on 16 April 2001. Rose went on to play in the final four games of the season in place of the injured Mark Patterson
. He made only a handful of Division One appearances for the Gills in the following two seasons, but had a 9 match spell on loan at then Division Three side Bristol Rovers
during the 2002–03 season
. He was reported to have done well whilst with the Pirates, receiving glowing reports from manager Ray Graydon
.
Rose started to establish himself more in the 2004–05 season
, during which time he played 20 times (18 in the league), mostly at right or left back. Gillingham were eventually relegated back down to League One
at the end of that season. Relegation prompted the departures of Nyron Nosworthy
(a right back) and John Hills (a left back), presenting Rose to stake a claim for a regular spot in the starting line-up in League One
. Things certainly started according to plan as Neale Cooper gave Rose a permanent right-back spot. With Cooper's departure midway through the season
, Rose was out of favour under new manager Ronnie Jepson
and only made one more appearance for the first team. He was released on 9 May 2006.
Rose soon found a new home at newly-promoted Hereford United where he played initially in centre midfield. He started 15 out of the first 16 matches of the season in League Two
and scored his first senior goal in a 2–0 home win over Chester
. He was then dropped in favour of loan signings John Eustace
and Neil MacKenzie
. When he returned to the side he reverted to the defence where he finished the season as third choice centre back.
Rose was used mainly as a full-back during the 2007–08 season and scored the second goal of his career in a superb 5–1 victory over Darlington
. He was a regular starter for the Bulls in their promotion-winning season, but was sidelined for six weeks mid-season with a fractured ankle. Rose started 17 of the final 20 league matches of the season as Hereford finished third in League Two.
In August 2011 Rose signed for Dagenham & Redbridge
