Biography

Steelers and Great Britain Captain

The 2025–26 Elite League season will be Robert Dowd’s 18th season with the club, after playing his first game back in the 2006–07 campaign.

Dowdy remained in Sheffield before leaving for a year in Belfast (2011–12) and another in Sweden with Troja-Ljungby (2012–13), before returning to the Steelers for the 2013–14 season.

Earlier this season, Dowdy became the Steelers’ all-time record goal scorer, surpassing Steve Nemeth’s tally of 356 goals. Our captain presently stands at 374. Dowd is currently second in all-time appearances for the club with 870 (only Jonathan Phillips has played more games, with 1,042).

Dowd, of course, captained the Steelers to the 2024 Grand Slam. He added those three championships to the many others he has won in Sheffield (and Belfast) over the years.

Internationally, Dowdy played for England at U18 and U20 levels before making his Great Britain debut in 2009.

Since then, he has represented his country every season, making over 100 appearances.

“Sheffield is my home now. This is where I live, where my kids were born, and where I want to help win many more trophies with the Steelers.

“The squad of players this club has had over the past few years is incredible, and we go into every season with the intention and the drive to win again.”
