Ibane Bowat (born 15 September 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL Championship club Portsmouth. [3] Born in England, he is a youth international for Scotland.
Born in Kingston upon Thames, London Bowat was in the academy at Chelsea from under-6 level before leaving at under-12 level. He played less football at the start of his teenage years and played age group rugby union for Harlequins RFC before joining Fulham at under-16 level, having found he missed playing football. [4] [5]
Bowat joined FC Den Bosch from Fulham in January 2023 on loan with the option to buy. [6] He made his senior debut on 20 January 2023 being named in the starting XI as FC Den Bosch hosted Jong PSV at the De Vliert in the Eerste Divisie. [7] On 13 July 2023, Bowat signed a new contract with Fulham until 2025 and was subsequently loaned out to Austrian Bundesliga side TSV Hartberg. [8]
On August 30, 2024 Bowat signed for EFL Championship side Portsmouth on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee reported to be in the region of £500,000. However, before he had made his debut he suffered a serious knee injury in training in September 2024, rupturing the patella tendon in his right knee as he took a shot on goal, which required him to undergo surgery. [9] [10]
Born in England, Bowat qualifies for Scotland via his maternal grandfather hailing from Fife. [11] He is also eligible to play for England, France and Cameroon. [12] He has represented Scotland at Under-19 level and in September 2022 was called up for the first time to the Scotland under-21 squad.
