Rose was drafted initially by Collingwood, with the 38th selection of the 1989 National Draft.[1] He didn't manage to break into the seniors during his time at the club and was traded to Sydney.
At the Swans he was used early on as a defender but developed into a ruckman.[2] He was Sydney's leading ruckman in 1994 and 1995, topping the hit-outs in both years.[3]
After leaving Sydney, Rose returned to East Perth, his original club.[4]
