Club career
editBorn in Chelmsford, Fowler attended Debenham High School in Suffolk. He captained the school team, playing as a central midfielder in the same side as his twin brother.[2]
Fowler first joined Ipswich Town during the 2011–12 campaign as a schoolboy and signed his first scholarship in July 2014.[3] He played for the under-18 team while he was still an under-15, and earned a one-year professional contract in the summer of 2016. The following year, his contract was extended by a further 12 months.[4]
He went on to make his full senior debut in a 2–1 defeat against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup second round on 22 August 2017.[5]
On 30 August 2017, along with teammate Adam McDonnell, Fowler joined National League side Aldershot Town on a one-month loan.[6] Three days later, he made his debut during their 1–0 home victory over Solihull Moors, featuring for the entire 90 minutes.[7] Following several extensions to his loan, Fowler agreed to join Aldershot permanently on 31 January 2018.[8]
On 26 October 2021, Fowler joined National League South side, Maidstone United on an initial one-month loan.[9] Following five first-team appearances, Fowler's loan was made permanent a month later for an undisclosed fee, ending his three-year affiliation with the Hampshire-based side.[10]
