At 24 years old, Josh Fowler is currently leading the Premiership in goalscoring, marking an impressive start to his tenure with St Johnstone. Fowler's route to the top has been far from ordinary, involving experiences in Dubai and Australia before finding his current form.
After beginning his journey in lower-tier Scottish football and facing early career setbacks, Fowler sought full-time opportunities abroad. He spent two years with Gulf United in Dubai, an experience he described as surreal, and also had a brief period in Australia with St Albans.
Returning to Scotland, Fowler signed with Queen's Park, where his immediate impact—scoring in his first four games—quickly silenced critics. His consistent performances attracted St Johnstone, who signed him in January. Despite a slower start in Perth, Fowler has flourished this season, netting four goals in five games and topping the scoring charts, expressing his ambition to compete at the highest level.
