Kelci-Rose Bowers (born 21 January 2004), also known as Kelci Bowers, is an English professional footballer, model, and influencer, who plays as a defender for FA Women's National League club Hashtag United.
Bowers progressed through the youth academies of Chelsea and Southampton[1] before playing college soccer in the United States for the LSU Tigers in 2022. After appearing in seven matches at LSU,[2], she returned to England to join Portsmouth in 2023,[3] later moving to AFC Bournemouth, initially on loan in March 2024[4] and joining on a permanent transfer later that year.[5] In August 2026, she joined Hashtag United following the expiry of her contract at Bournemouth.[6]
A native of Fareham[7], Bowers has represented England internationally at youth levels, from under-15 through under-19.[1]
The social media video announcing her 2024 signing with Bournemouth was viewed by 22 million viewers.[4] Also in 2024, she began a relationship with Argentine footballer Marcos Senesi, who played for Bournemouth's men's team at the time.[1] Her move to the London-based Hashtag United follows Senesi’s transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, also in London.[6] As of June 2026, Bowers had over 200,000 social media followers.
