Career

Ipswich Town

He made his Ipswich Town first team debut in March 2003, aged 16, when he came off the bench against local rivals Norwich City, a match in which Ipswich won 2–0. The following season, becoming the youngest Ipswich player to score a hat-trick, against Watford. He picked up the Dale Roberts award as the best performer from the academy for 2003–04. A series of injuries saw Bowditch feature less for the Ipswich first team and he was loaned to Burnley, Wycombe and Brighton. On 22 November 2008 he signed a one-month loan deal at Northampton Town.

On 11 February 2008, Bowditch agreed to re-join Brighton on loan, initially for one-month. On 31 October 2008, he joined Brentford on loan until January 2009, with an option to be recalled after one month.[1]

Ipswich released Bowditch at the end of the 2008–09 season.[2]

Yeovil Town

Bowditch signed a one-year deal with League One club Yeovil on 30 July 2009.[3] He scored on his debut against Tranmere but was later injured. On 14 November, he returned from injury and scored as a second-half substitute in Yeovil's 1–0 win over Southend. He scored his ninth goal of the season against Leeds United on 5 April 2010 in a 2–1 defeat. He reached double figures for the season with the opener against Millwall on Tuesday 13 April 2010. He finished the season as Yeovil's top scorer. On 16 June 2010, he signed a new contract with Yeovil. He was informed by the club at the end of the 2010/11 season that he was one of seven Yeovil players who would be awarded new contracts.[4] He rejected this contract offer and left Yeovil.

Milton Keynes Dons

On 20 June 2011, Dean Bowditch signed a two-year deal with MK Dons,[5] becoming manager Karl Robinson's first signing of the 2011/12 season.
