Mary Fowler , born February 14, 2003, is an Australian professional footballer . The sports star, who plays mainly as a forward, is also able to play as a midfielder. The daughter of an Irish father and Papua New Guinean mother, Fowler comes from a footballing family with her elder siblings Caoimhin and Ciara having both played for the Republic of Ireland's youth sides, while the latter also represented Australia at Under-20 level. At the age of 10, Fowler was already playing for the Queensland state U12s team. Fowler's family then relocated to the Netherlands - where she signed with BVV Barendrecht. Discussing this period of her life, Fowler explained: "At that time, everybody in my family was playing football and my dad had work over there, as well. "Going to Holland and being able to be part of that culture and playing on the streets after school every day, and being from the family I am from - we have five kids in our family and we play football pretty much every day. "It has been instrumental to me, playing in all these different environments and seeing the kind of laws from league-to-league because they are different from each other." After spending three years away from home, at the age of 14, Fowler and her family moved back to Australia - where she would later play in the NSW Women's National Premier League before signing with Adelaide United in the W-League. She played one season in the W-League, scoring three goals in seven appearances, before she was back on her travels. This time, however, she was flying to the sunny south coast of France to play for Montpellier, one month s){kind=link}
