Kieron Thomas Bowie (born 21 September 2002) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Sassuolo, on loan from Hellas Verona, and the Scotland national team. He has previously played for Raith Rovers, Fulham, Northampton Town and Hibernian.

Club career

Raith Rovers

Kieron had previously played for Glenrothes Strollers before a move to his boyhood club Raith Rovers.[2]

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[3] and helping the club to a Scottish League One title and promotion to the Championship.

Fulham

Kieron officially joined Fulham on 1 July 2020 after a pre-contract agreement that was made the previous February.[2]

Northampton Town (loan)

On 12 July 2022, Bowie joined EFL League Two club Northampton Town on a season-long loan, helping them secure promotion.[4] On 3 July 2023, he re-joined Northampton – now promoted to EFL League One – on another season-long loan.[5] He played a pivotal role in the club's campaign, including scoring their goal of the season.[6] In his two seasons at the club, he made 81 appearances in the league, scoring 14 goals.

Hibernian

Bowie signed for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian on a four-year contract in August 2024, moving from Fulham for what Hibs described as "a significant fee".[7] Hibs manager David Gray said that "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."[7] He missed about four months of the 2024–25 season due to a hamstring injury sustained while playing for the Scotland under-21 team in September 2024.[8]

Hibs rejected an offer from Serie A club Hellas Verona in January 2026, but later that month accepted a second offer which set a new club record for the transfer fee received.[9]

Hellas Verona

Bowie signed for Hellas Verona on 30 January 2026, agreeing a contract that is due to run until the middle of 2030.[9] He scored his first goal in Serie A on 8 March, the winning goal in a 2–1 victory at Bologna.[10] Bowie scored four goals in 13 appearances, but Verona were relegated at the end of the 2025–26 season.

Sassuolo (loan)

Following Verona's relegation, Bowie stayed in Serie A by joining Sassuolo on loan.[11] The move will become permanent if unspecified conditions are met.[11]

International career

Bowie received his first call-up to the Scotland under-21 team in May 2021.[12] He made his first appearance, as a substitute, in a 2–1 defeat against Northern Ireland on 2 June 2021.[13] He scored two goals in a 3–1 win against Hungary on 13 October 2023,[14] and a winning goal against Malta four days later.[15]

He was selected for the full Scotland squad for the first time in June 2025,[16] and made his international debut in a 4–0 friendly victory over Liechtenstein on 9 June.[17]
