Club career

[edit]

Raith Rovers (2019–2020)

[edit]

Kieron had previously played for Glenrothes Strollers before a move to his boyhood club Raith Rovers.[1]

He broke into the first team aged only 16 in the tailend of the 2018–19 season as he made four appearances for the Fife-based club. He then went on to make 35 appearances in all competitions the following season, scoring 10 goals[2] and helping the club to a Scottish League One title and promotion to the Championship.

Fulham (2020–2024)

[edit]

Kieron officially joined Fulham on 1 July 2020 after a pre-contract agreement that was made the previous February.[1]

Northampton Town (loan)

[edit]

On 12 July 2022, Bowie joined EFL League Two club Northampton Town on a season-long loan, helping them secure promotion.[3] On 3 July 2023, he re-joined Northampton – now promoted to EFL League One – on another season-long loan.[4] He played a pivotal role in the club's campaign, including scoring their goal of the season.[5] In his two seasons at the club, he made 81 appearances in the league, scoring 14 goals.

Hibernian (2024-present)

[edit]

On 7 August 2024, Bowie signed for Hibernian for a "significant" fee. Manager David Gray said "Players of Kieron’s ability and potential are always in high demand, so to sign a player of his calibre shows the ambition that we’ve got here."[6]

International career

[edit]

Bowie received his first call-up to the Scotland under-21 team in May 2021.[7] He made his first appearance, as a substitute, in a 2–1 defeat against Northern Ireland on 2 June 2021.[8] He scored two goals in a 3–1 win against Hungary on 13 October 2023,[9] and a winning goal against Malta four days later.[10]
