Fulham forward Kieron Bowie has rejoined Northampton Town on loan after helping the Cobblers win promotion from League Two last season.
The Scottish under-21 international scored five goals and added three assists from forty appearances in all competitions as Jon Brady’s side went up last term by finishing third. The 20 year-old, who joined Fulham from Raith Rovers in July 2020 was keen to return to Sixfields after enjoying regular first-team football having starred for the Whites’ youth sides since moving south of the border.
Brady told Town’s official website this afternoon:
“We are delighted Kieron is back with us. He was an important player for us last season and the impact he had was obvious. We feel Kieron improved as a player during his time with us last season and we are delighted he will be back to continue that development with us in League One.
He is a popular figure both in the dressing room and amongst the fans and it is great news that he will be back at Sixfields. The fact that a Premier League club like Fulham are willing to send Kieron back to us is a big compliment to both the club and the environment we have created.
It also speaks volumes that Kieron himself was very keen to come back and stay with us, and he becomes the tenth player in the last 12 months to either extend their stay or return to the club. That says a lot. He is a key signing for us. We know exactly what we are getting and Kieron knows what his role is and what we expect from him, and he is another who we believe is on an upward curve in his career.
As coaches we are looking forward to working with him again and I know the lads are looking forward to having him back with us.”
The Kirkcaldy-born forward has joined his Northampton team-mates back in his homeland as the Cobblers have commenced a pre-season tour of Scotland.
