Jason Kenneth George Fowler (born 20 August 1974 in Bristol) is an English former professional footballer.
Career
Having featured for both Southampton and Oxford United as a schoolboy, Fowler signed for his hometown club Bristol City at the age of 16,[1] making his debut during a 2–1 defeat to Reggiana in the Anglo-Italian Cup on 8 December 1992.[2] However he struggled to establish himself in the first team and was eventually released in 1996.
He was signed by Cardiff City and quickly became a regular in the squad, helping the side to promotion from Division Three in the 1998–99 season. He was diagnosed with an over-active thyroid during the 2000–01 season and struggled to keep his place in the squad due to the illness. He left Cardiff in 2001 for a fresh start at Torquay United where he spent four years before being forced into retirement in 2005 due the discovery of Arthritis in his hips.[1][3] In May 2011, Fowler was linked with the managerial vacancy at Weymouth.
Post-retirement
In September 2006, Fowler began working as an assistant coach with the Cardiff City F.C. Academy under 16's team, along with James McCarthy.[1]
