Andrew Barrowman (born 27 November 1984) is a Scottish football player. A forward, he is contracted to Scottish club Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Career

Birmingham

Barrowman was born in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. He joined Birmingham City at the age of 16, having been with Rangers for four years as a schoolboy.cite web |url=http://www.4thegame.com/club/birmingham-city-fc/player-profile/4655/andrewbarrowman.html |title=Andrew Barrowman |publisher=4thegame.com |accessdate=2008-04-08] In 2002 he represented Scotland under-19s in the first qualifying round for the 2003 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. [cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under19/history/season=2003/round=1599/match=69580/report=ev.html |title=Slovenia 1 - 2 Scotland |publisher=UEFA |accessdate=2008-04-08] He had previously represented Scotland at other youth levels.

He signed his first senior contract at Birmingham for the start of the 2003-04 season, but played his debut match as a Crewe Alexandra player during a month-long loan spell between October and November 2003, in a match against Bradford City on 14 October. He hit his first goal in his next match, a 3–0 victory against Derby County four days later.

Between November and the close of the season, he played one more game, at home against Leicester City. In the summer of 2004, he was handed a new contract for his original club, Birmingham.

Loaned to Blackpool for the first three months of the 2004–05 season, Barrowman made his debut as a Blackpool player against Sheffield Wednesday, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 home loss. He stunned then-manager Colin Hendry by walking out after another substitute appearance.

Walsall

Barrowman would prove never to become a regular squad member at St Andrew's. In January 2006 he signed for Walsall. He made his debut in a 5–0 defeat to Brentford, which proved to be the final act of manager Paul Merson's spell as manager. Barrowman gave away a penalty in this game with a bizarre handball with the score at 4–0. However, Barrowman's fortunes improved the week after when he helped to rescue a point on his home debut. With Walsall down to ten men, Barrowman latched onto a long ball and floated a lovely lob over the advancing goalkeeper to make it 2–2.

Kilmarnock

On 26 July 2006, Barrowman signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock, but after initially failing to break into the first team he joined Queen of the South on a month's loan during September. [cite news

On 1 February 2007, after his release from Rugby Park, he signed a short-term contract with Queen of the South until the end of the season. [cite web

Ross County

He signed for Ross County for the 2007–08 season. He hit terrific form during his first season with County, scoring a total of 29 goals, 24 in the league, which helped the club to win the Second Division championship. In late May he turned down a contract extension with County [cite news

Inverness

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Craig Brewster captured his main transfer target on 25 June 2008 when, after much deliberation, Barrowman committed himself to a three-year contract with the club. [cite news
