Dean Peter Bowditch (born 15 June 1986) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder or striker. Having left Milton Keynes Dons at the end of the 2016–17 season, he is currently a free agent.
Bowditch made his Ipswich Town first team debut in March 2003, aged 16, when he came off the bench against local rivals Norwich City, a match in which Ipswich won 2–0. The following season, he became the club's youngest player to score a hat-trick, against Watford. He picked up the Dale Roberts award as the best performer from the academy for 2003–04. A series of injuries saw him feature less for the Ipswich first team and he was loaned to Burnley, Wycombe and Brighton. On 22 November 2008 he signed a one-month loan deal at Northampton Town.
On 11 February 2008, Bowditch agreed to re-join Brighton on loan, initially for one-month. On 31 October 2008, he joined Brentford on loan until January 2009, with an option to be recalled after one month.
Ipswich released Bowditch at the end of the 2008–09 season.
Bowditch signed a one-year deal with League One club Yeovil on 30 July 2009. He scored on his debut against Tranmere but was later injured. On 14 November, he returned from injury and scored as a second-half substitute in Yeovil's 1–0 win over Southend. He scored his ninth goal of the season against Leeds United on 5 April 2010 in a 2–1 defeat. He reached double figures for the season with the opener against Millwall on Tuesday 13 April 2010. Having finished the 2009–2011 season as Yeovil's top scorer, he signed a new contract with the club on 16 June 2010. At the end of the 2010–11 season, he was informed by the club that he was one of seven Yeovil players who would be awarded new contracts. However, rejected this contract offer and left Yeovil.
