James McGowan (born 29 January 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer, who plays as a goalkeeper for SJFA West Region Premiership side Largs Thistle.

He previously played for Greenock Morton and Dumbarton and spent loan spells at Junior clubs Cumbernauld United and Troon.

Career[]

McGowan started his career as a youth player at St Mirren before moving to local rivals Greenock Morton as part of their development squad.[1] He made his debut as a substitute in November 2014, after Derek Gaston was injured against Stenhousemuir. He made his first start in the Scottish Cup in a defeat to Spartans,[2] before making his first league start in February 2016 after Gaston suffered a concussion in the previous match.[3]

McGowan agreed a new one-year deal for the 2016–17 season.[4] He spent time on loan at Cumbernauld United, either side of the summer in 2016.[5]

In May 2017, he again signed up for a further year at Morton.[6] He was then loaned to Troon in August 2017.[7]

Although his contract expired at the end of the 2017-18 season, new manager Ray McKinnon invited him in for pre-season training to assess him[8] however he declined the offer to sign for Scottish League One side Dumbarton.[9] After making just five appearances for the club, he was released in January 2019[10] and signed for SJFA West Region Premiership side Largs Thistle.[11]
