Fergus Owens (born 12 May 2003) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Hamilton Academical, as a defender.[2][3]
Club career
Owens began his career with Hamilton Academical, moving on loan to Clydebank in July 2021,[1] where he made two league appearances.[4] Later that season he also spent time on loan at Bo'ness Athletic and Blackburn United.[5][6]
He spent the first half of the 2023–24 season on loan with Kelty Hearts.[7] He was recalled in January 2024 following impressive performances, and signed a new two-year contract with Hamilton in April 2024.[8]
In January 2026, days after being close to a transfer to East Kilbride,[9] he signed for Greenock Morton,[10] saying that he was hoping to revive his career.[11] The transfer was welcomed by Greenock player Jackson Longridge, who had played with Owens at Hamilton.[12] Owens made a notable mistake in a game in March,[13] but later that month praised the club's fighting spirit as they challenged relegation.[14]
In May 2026 he left Greenock,[15] and in June 2026, Owens returned to Hamilton.[16]
International career
Owens is eligible to play for Ireland through his mother, and in May 2024 was reported to be close to being called up by their under-21 team.[17]
Personal life
His father is musician Campbell Owens.[18]
