Owen Lucas Bevan (born 26 October 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as centre-back for Scottish Premiership club Dundee. Born in England, he is a former Wales under-21 international.

Personal life

Born in Winchester, and raised in Fair Oak, Hampshire Bevan qualifies for Wales through his mother, Katie. His father, Lester Bevan, is a boxing coach. Owen's brother Taylor Bevan is a Welsh former amateur boxing champion who represented Wales at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, winning the silver medal in the men's light heavyweight event.[2][3]

Club career

Bevan joined the youth academy at Bournemouth when he was nine years old. He did play as a central midfielder but moved to defence aged 14. He was appointed as the captain of Bournemouth under-18s for the 2021–22 season. He joined Truro City on loan in January 2022.[4] Having initially signed a professional contract for the first time in March 2021,[5] Bevan was offered a new contact with Bournemouth in May 2022.[6]

Bevan was given the number 35 shirt ahead of the 2022–23 season,[7] and featured for the Bournemouth first team for the first time during a pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad.[8] On 23 August 2022, Bevan made his professional debut for AFC Bournemouth during a win on penalties over Norwich City in the League Cup.[9][10]

On 2 September 2022, Bevan joined National League side Yeovil Town on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[11]

On 25 August 2023, Bevan joined League One club Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan deal.[12] On 2 January 2024, Bevan returned to his parent club AFC Bournemouth due to injury.[13]

On 1 February 2024, Bevan joined Scottish Premiership side Hibernian on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season.[14] Due to a setback in rehabilitation from injury, Bevan was unable to play for Hibs and he returned to Bournemouth for treatment.[15]

On 10 July 2026 after impressing while on trial, Bevan left Bournemouth to join Scottish Premiership club Dundee on a two-year deal with an option of a third.[16] The next day, Bevan played his first competitive match since December 2023 in a Scottish League Cup group stage win over Airdrieonians.[17] On 22 August, Bevan scored his first goal for Dundee in the Dundee derby in a win away at Tannadice Park.[18]

International career

Bevan was called up to the Wales national under-19 football team for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship Group 10 qualifying matches in Norway against Georgia, Norway and Kosovo on 6, 9 and 12 October 2021.[19] In September 2022 Bevan made his debut for the Wales national under-21 football team in the 2–0 friendly match defeat against Austria under-21.[20][21]
