Club career
Bristol City
Having watched his first match at Ashton Gate at the age of six, George Dowling grew up supporting Bristol City.[2] He then joined the club's academy when he was just eight years old and signed his first professional contract on 27 October 2015.[3] He made his debut for the club on 30 April 2016, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for Bobby Reid in a 4-0 Championship win over Huddersfield Town.[4]
Loan to Weston-super-Mare
On 4 August 2016, six players, including Dowling were loaned out by Bristol City on short-term deals. Dowling and teammate Shaun McCoulsky both joined National League South side Weston-super-Mare on a two-month loan period.[5] He made his debut for the club two days later in a 3-1 win over Whitehawk and made a total of eight appearances before returning to Bristol.
Return to Bristol
Following the expiration of his loan with Weston–super–Mare, Dowling returned to Bristol where he continued to play for the club's U23 side. On 11 May 2017, he started and scored in a comeback victory over Barnet's U23 side which saw Bristol lift the Central League Cup (South) trophy.[6]
