Club career

Born in Chelmsford, Fowler attended Debenham High School in Suffolk. He captained the school team, playing as a central midfielder in the same side as his twin brother.[1]

Fowler first joined Ipswich Town during the 2011–12 campaign as a schoolboy and signed his first scholarship in July 2014.[2] He played for the under-18 team while he was still an under-15, and earned a one-year professional contract in the summer of 2016. The following year, his contract was extended by a further 12 months.[3]

He went on to make his full senior debut in a 2–1 defeat against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup second round on 22 August 2017.[4]

On 30 August 2017, along with teammate Adam McDonnell, Fowler joined National League side Aldershot Town on a one-month loan.[5] Three days later, he made his debut during their 1–0 home victory over Solihull Moors, featuring for the entire 90 minutes.[6] Following several extensions to his loan, Fowler agreed to join Aldershot permanently on 31 January 2018.[7]

Fowler can play in either central defense or in the centre of midfield.[7]
