Callum O'Dowda

Callum O'Dowda of Ferencvaros was born in Kidlington, England on 23 April 1995 (age 31).

Callum O'Dowda, born on 23 April 1995 (age 31), is a Republic of Ireland international who now plays mainly at left back for Ferencvaros.

He first came properly into view at Oxford United, where his most productive league season came in 2015-16. Eight goals in 38 appearances from a wide role was a decent return, and enough to mark him out as more than just another tidy left-sided runner.

At Ferencvaros, wearing squad number 47, he has made eight appearances across all competitions in 2026-27, scoring once. That includes three Nemzeti Bajnokság I appearances and five in Europa League qualifying.

His form this season has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad in recent weeks. His last appearance came in the 1-0 win away to Trabzonspor on 20 August 2026.

O'Dowda's career has been built around steady left-sided work rather than noise. Oxford gave him his early platform, and Ferencvaros is the current stage of a career that has carried him from English lower-league development into European club football.

O'Dowda's career has delivered modest attacking returns across recent seasons, with goal totals of two in 2024-25, one in 2023-24 and three in 2022-23, and single goals in each season from 2019-20 to 2021-22. Now aged 31 and playing as a left back for Ferencvaros, that sequence underlined a steady if limited offensive contribution from defensive positions.
