Rose made the first of his five Arsenal appearances at Queens Park Rangers in March 1996. He left Highbury to join the Loftus Road club in May 1997.
A former England Under-21 international, this influential Queens Park Rangers player was sorely missed during an early season absence through injury but returned to become a mainstay of the defence.
He was one of the few players who managed to retain place at a disruptive time when the formation was altered and there was a change in management.
He regularly featured in the centre of defence although he can also play as a sweeper and in a holding midfield role.
Rose's QPR contract was extended to June 2006 in July 2004.
He joined Yeovil Town in February 2007 with a contract to the end of the season.
