Career

[edit]

Chesterfield

[edit]

Born in Nottingham, Bowery represented Derby County as a schoolboy but was not signed as a scholar and eventually moved on to Chesterfield.[3] Bowery made his professional debut for Chesterfield on 30 August 2008, in a 1–0 defeat against Wycombe Wanderers. On 19 November 2009, Bowery joined Conference Premier club Barrow on loan for six weeks.[4] Bowery scored his first goal in the Football League on 29 January 2011, in a 2–2 home draw against Bradford City.[5] On 15 September 2011, Bowery signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until June 2014.[6]

Aston Villa

[edit]

Bowery signed for Aston Villa on 31 August 2012.[7] He signed on loan for Doncaster Rovers in February 2014.[8]

Rotherham United

[edit]

On 10 June 2014, Bowery joined Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee, breaking the Millers' transfer record of £160,000 for Lee Frecklington in January 2013.[9] He signed on loan for Bradford City in November 2015.[10] He left Rotherham by mutual consent in January 2016.[11]

Oxford United

[edit]

On 22 January, Bowery joined Oxford United on a deal until the end of the season.[12] He scored 7 league goals in 9 starts and 8 substitute appearances[13] and was part of the team that won promotion to League One, finishing second in League Two.[14]

Leyton Orient

[edit]

On 5 July 2016, Bowery joined Leyton Orient on a two-year deal upon his release from Oxford United.[15]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit]

He moved to Crewe Alexandra on loan in January 2017,[16] and scored his first Crewe goal on 14 March at Crawley Town.[17] On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Bowery would be returning to his parent club,[18] however two weeks later on 23 May, Crewe announced that Bowery had signed a two-year contract with the club, as his Leyton Orient contract included a relegation release clause which allowed him to leave.[19] After scoring 22 times in 99 games over two seasons,[20][21] he was offered a new contract by Crewe at the end of the 2018–19 season, but declined to extend his stay at Gresty Road.[22]

Milton Keynes Dons

[edit]

On 11 June 2019, it was announced that Bowery would join newly promoted League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a free transfer effective from 1 July 2019.[23][24] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers.[25]

Mansfield Town

[edit]

On 22 June 2020 it was announced that he would join Mansfield Town on 1 August 2020, after signing on a free transfer.[26][27] Following defeat in the 2022 EFL League Two play-off final, Bowery signed a new two-year contract.[28]

Playing style

[edit]

Playing as a forward for most of his career, Bowery began playing as a defender for Mansfield in the 2022–23 season.[29] He played at both centre back and right back, and he said he appreciated the "trust" placed in him by Mansfield manager Nigel Clough.[30] He was later described as a "versatile" player.[31][32] Playing primarily as a defender from that time, Bowery returned to playing as a forward in November 2023 due to an injury to striker Lucas Akins.[33]

Personal life

[edit]

Bowery's father Bert Bowery was also a professional footballer who played in England and the United States.[34]
