Aidan Dowling (born 8 October 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Blackburn club Blackburn Rovers.
Club career
Blackburn Rovers
On 20 May 2021, Dowling signed his first professional contract with EFL Championship side Blackburn Rovers until 30 June 2023.[2] Dowling joined the club's academy at under-14 level in 2016, working his way up to the U18s by the 2020–21 season, appearing 11 times for then U18s manager Mike Sheron's side whilst occasionally making the bench for Blackburn's U23s.
On 20 August, Dowling joined National League side FC Halifax Town on a short-term loan until 18 September,[3], with the intention of acting as backup to the club's first-choice keeper Sam Johnson[4]. Dowling returned to his parent club on 20 September, with Halifax opting against extending the youngster's loan, instead opting to sign a permanent backup option.[4] Following his return to Blackburn, Dowling made his debut for the club's U23s side in their 1-0 Premier League 2 win over Chelsea U23s.[5]
On 9 October, Dowling joined Northern Premier League Premier Division on a short-term loan until 6 November.[5] Dowling extended his stay with Lancaster on 8 November until 7 January 2022, although this was cut short by Blackburn on 17 December in order to bolster the club's back-up options.[6]
