Dundee Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of defender Owen Bevan on a two-year contract, with the Club holding the option to extend the deal by a further year, subject to Scottish FA clearance and international approval.
The talented central defender has been at the club throughout preseason as a trialist, and becomes the latest addition to Steven Pressley’s squad as preparations continue for the 2026/27 season.
Still only in the early stages of his career, Bevan is a commanding and composed centre-back who has earned a reputation as one of the brightest young defensive talents to emerge from the English game. Comfortable in possession, strong in the air and intelligent in his positioning, he brings qualities that fit the style of football Dundee is looking to play.
The Club has tracked Owen’s progress over a sustained period and moved decisively to secure his signature on a long-term deal that reflects the belief in his potential.
The Club would also like to thank AFC Bournemouth for their support in making this happen.
Steven Pressley said:
“Owen is a player that we were made aware of and who joined us from day one of our preseason. He very much impressed with his aggression, his defensive mindset but also his composure and ability with the football.
“In our opinion he’s a player with a very high ceiling and our job is to create an environment and give him the platform to achieve that potential. We’re delighted that he has signed.”
Owen Bevan said:
“There were lots of reasons to come here. I saw during my trial period that there are lots of good people here. The manager was a big driving factor for coming, I like the way he works, I like the football he wants to play and I think it suits me. I think it’ll bring the best out of me.
“I want to perform here. I want to show people that I can step up a level at this club and I can’t wait to get started.”
Everyone at Dundee Football Club is delighted to welcome Owen and wishes him every success in Dark Blue.
