Nathan Shane Fowles (born 8 April 1993 in Rochdale, England) is a professional rugby union player who plays Scrum-half for Ealing Trailfinders in the English RFU Championship.

Club career[]

Fowles progressed through the Sale Sharks academy and made his first ten appearances for the club while still a teenager.[1] While on loan to Preston Grasshoppers during the 2011–12 season, he was named in the National League 2 North Team of the Year.[1] He subsequently spent the summer of 2012 at Border Bulldogs competing in the under-21 Currie Cup.[1] In March 2013, Fowles scored the winning try against Saracens in the semi final of the Anglo-Welsh Cup.[2] He started the defeat against Harlequin F.C. in the final.[3]

In February 2015, Fowles joined Edinburgh on loan.[4] In April 2015 the deal was made permanent.[5] In May 2015, Fowles was an unused substitute in the final of the European Challenge Cup against Gloucester.[6]

It was confirmed in March 2019 that Fowles would be leaving Edinburgh at the end of the season to join RFU Championship side Ealing Trailfinders on a two-year deal.[7]

International career[]

Fowles represented England under-20 in the 2013 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[8] In October 2016, Fowles received his first call up to the senior Scotland squad by coach Gregor Townsend for the Autumn Internationals.[9] He is Scottish qualified through his Edinburgh born grandfather.[10]
