Michael Valentine "Mikey" McGowan (b. 22 February 1985, Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish-born Northern Irish football defender currently playing for Clyde. He began his senior career with Stenhousemuir, where he played a handful of games, before moving to Dundee. McGowan failed to make a single appearance for Dundee, and subsequently joined Clyde.
McGowan made his Clyde debut as a substitute in the first league game of the 2005/2006 season against Ross County, and went on to cement his place in the team, missing only 1 more game that season. During that season, McGowan was rewarded for his consistent performances with a call up to the Northern Ireland U21 squad, after discovering he was eligible to play for them. He has since has been capped on a few occasions.
McGowan temporarily took over the captains armband at Clyde in February 2007, due to an injury to recently appointed captain Neil McGregor. McGowan captained the side for the rest of the season, and was officially appointed Team Captain in August 2007.[1]
