Rowett happy to see Mowbray back on touchline

Oxford United boss Gary Rowett says he is delighted to see West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Mowbray back on the touchline ahead of the two sides meeting on Saturday.
Rowett replaced Mowbray as Birmingham City head coach last March whilst Mowbray received treatment for bowel cancer.
After being given the all-clear, Mowbray was reappointed Albion boss in January following the departure of Carlos Corberan to Valencia.
"Its great to see Tony back," Rowett told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I obviously followed Tony at Birmingham and I think it shows how much everyone respects him that everyone is pleased for him to come back.
"I'm sure now he is back, he doesn't want everyone talking about it [the cancer diagnosis] forever but it's great to see him out there.
"It'll be nice to lock horns with him once more because he's a top football manager and a top football person and I wish him all the best."
