Kieron Thomas Bowie (born 21 September 2002) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian.
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.
Kieron officially joined Fulham on 1 July 2020 after a pre-contract agreement that was made the previous February. [1]
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.
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]
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.
