Career
A striker, McDowell started his professional career at Cowdenbeath. He had an impressive time at Cowdenbeath and received offers from Hearts, Southend United and Brentford.[7] McDowell eventually joined Partick Thistle in August 2001.[8] Despite scoring on his debut for the Jags, he failed to make a breakthrough at the club.[9][10]
After leaving Thistle, McDowell had brief spells at Queen of the South, Clyde, Arbroath[10] and Stenhousemuir.
McDowell moved into junior football with Carnoustie Panmure in 2004 and went on to play for numerous clubs at this level including Linlithgow Rose, Tayport and Kelty Hearts.[11] He moved into his first management role at Jeanfield Swifts in 2009 and later had spells in charge at Luncarty and Kinnoull.[12]
McDowell is a certified personal fitness trainer, working for Good Health in Dundee.[13]
McDowell was appointed manager of East Superleague side Camelon Juniors in June 2016 but left the post three months later.[14]
