Club career
[edit]Raith Rovers (2019–2020)
[edit]Kieron had previously played for Glenrothes Strollers before a move to his boyhood club Raith Rovers.[1]
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[2] and helping the club to a Scottish League One title and promotion to the Championship.

[edit]Kieron officially joined Fulham on 1 July 2020 after a pre-contract agreement that was made the previous February.[1]
Northampton Town (loan)
[edit]On 12 July 2022, Bowie joined EFL League Two club Northampton Town on a season-long loan, helping them secure promotion.[3] On 3 July 2023, he re-joined Northampton – now promoted to EFL League One – on another season-long loan.[4] He played a pivotal role in the club's campaign, including scoring their goal of the season. [5] In his two seasons at the club, he made 81 appearances in the league, scoring 14 goals.
Hibernian (2024-present)
