Mike Fowler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike Fowler (born 22 August 1981, Barry, Wales) is a professional footballer currently playing for Conference National side Salisbury City.

Fowler started as a professional with Crystal Palace where he made his debut against the Chinese National Team, from where he had loan spells with Stevenage Borough and Wrexham. Along the way he also picked up Welsh caps at every level up to and including Under-21.

From Crystal Palace he signed for Woking, and it was whilst playing for them that he first came into contact with Tim Harris when his Woking side took on Newport County – then managed by the City boss.

A transfer to Newport followed quickly, and his spell only came to an end when Harris left the managerial hot seat. Moving on to Welling United and Cwmbran Town, Harris re-signed him at the start of the 2005-06 campaign for Merthyr Tydfil and installed him as his captain.

Fowler signed for Gloucester City in June 2006 where he has become a first team regular. In January 2007, he joined Salisbury City until the end of the 2006-07 season. Following Salisbury's promotion to the Conference National, he was placed on a full time contract by the club.

His younger brother Lee currently plays for Newport County, on loan from Nigel Clough's Burton Albion.
