Danielle Josephine Bowman (née Buet; born 31 October 1988) is an English football coach and retired professional footballer. She currently serves as the head coach for the Brighton & Hove Albion women's under-19 squad.

Bowman retired from professional play at the end of the 2021-22 season and began her coaching career as a first-team coach at West Ham United[4]. In December 2023, she returned to Brighton & Hove Albion[5] as the assistant head coach for the women's U19's, and was subsequently appointed head coach in September 2024.[6]

Club career

Bowman (then Buet) joined Notts County Ladies at the start of the 2015 season from Chelsea.

She joined Chelsea from Arsenal Ladies in 2007. This was due to a lack of first team chances and the club not giving her a UEFA Women's Cup medal despite taking part in the tournament.[7] She scored twice on her Chelsea debut, a 9–1 win over Crewe Alexandra in the FA Women's Premier League Cup.[8]

In October 2008 she was named FA Women's Premier League Player of the Month for September.[9] That season Buet and Chelsea suffered the disappointment of a shock FA Women's Cup semi-final defeat to Northern Division Sunderland.[10]

Brighton and Hove Albion announced they signed the midfielder in July 2017.[11]

International career

Buet played for England at Under-17[12] and Under-19 level[13] and was a member of the victorious Under-19 European Championship side. She made her senior debut in March 2009, against South Africa, as a second-half substitute for Emily Westwood,[14] having received her first call-up to the senior squad the previous September.[15] Her first senior start came the same month in the 3–0 win against Scotland.[16] In August 2009 she was named in coach Hope Powell's squad for Euro 2009.[17]

She was given the Legacy Number 169 by The Football Association.[18]

Personal life

She attended St. Simon Stock Catholic School in Maidstone, followed by Loughborough University on the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme.[19]

In the summer of 2019, Danielle married and took the surname Bowman.
