Position | Midfielder/Forward |
Bowen was used in a role just behind the front two for Cardiff City in 2000-01 and became one of five Bluebirds' players to hit a double-figure tally of Third Division goals.
He looked more comfortable in this position than playing as an out-and-out striker and it was the case that when Bowen played well, the team played well.
He is a very talented player with pace, movement and good ball control.
Bowen was made available for transfer by Cardiff City in March 2004 before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in the following month.
