Ryan Michael Bowman (born 30 November 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.
Born in Carlisle, Cumbria, Bowman started his career with hometown club Carlisle United, first being part of the Centre of Excellence before signing a Youth Training Scheme contract in 2008. He scored 22 goals in his second season at youth level to make him the top scorer for the under-18 team. After also impressing for the reserve team, Bowman joined Conference North club Workington on a one-month loan on 13 February 2010. He scored his first goal in the 1–0 win against Redditch United on 27 February 2010, with a volley in the fourth minute. Bowman scored two goals in 10 matches on loan with Workington before being recalled by Carlisle due to injuries. He made his first-team debut for Carlisle in a 3–1 victory at home to Bristol Rovers in League One on 2 April 2010, coming on as a substitute for Scott Dobie in the 89th minute. He made six appearances for Carlisle in the 2009–10 season. He was given the club's Youth Training Scheme Player of the Year award, and signed a one-year professional contract during the summer of 2010.
On 19 October 2010, Bowman rejoined Workington on a one-month loan, and finished his second spell without scoring in eight appearances. The following calendar year on 1 January 2011, Bowman made his first appearance of 2010–11 for Carlisle, coming off the substitutes' bench in the 79th minute to replace Craig Curran in a 2–2 home draw with Huddersfield Town. He made two further substitute appearances in 2010–11 before being released by Carlisle on 4 May 2011.
