Jacen Russell-Rowe, a Canadian born on 13 September 2002, now aged 22, has shown a consistent skill in the position of a forward, and particularly as a striker. Currently, Russell-Rowe lends his efficacy to Columbus Crew, sporting the number 19 on his kit. At 6ft (1.83m) tall and a healthy weight of 11st6lb (73kg), it's clear he cuts an imposing figure on the field. His dedication towards his footballing career has not escaped the notice of his homeland, for Russell-Rowe has also represented the Canadian national football team.
In the year 2022, the hardworking young lad introduced himself effortlessly at Columbus Crew in the USA, making six first-team appearances in his debut season. He seemed to have quickly acclimatised to the ethos and game plan of his new team, for in the following 2023 season, he was responsible for a noteworthy four goals, which he dispatched in 21 first-team appearances. The young force isn't one to rest on his laurels, and as such, the current season, 2024, has him reprising his active role, with another 21 first-team appearances and five carefully executed goals to his name so far.

He participated in the MLS Cup Play Offs 2023 where he gained two appearances as a substitute, and the MLS 2024, where he registered a rather impressive five goals in ten starts and 11 off-the-bench appearances. It was this penchant for goal scoring that led him to be chosen for the illustrious Copa America 2024 for Canada, the Gold Cup 2023 where he featured thrice as a substitute, and the CONCACAF Champions Cup 2024 for Columbus Crew - here he played three starts and one game as a substitute, threshing out two more goals for his growing tally.
