Bowen joined Plymouth Albion in 2012 from Leicester Tigers, originally a centre, he switched to the wing, and scored 6 tries in his first 18 appearances in the RFU Championship,[1] becoming Plymouth’s young player of the season for 2 seasons consecutively. He became Plymouth Albion’s top try-scorer for the 2013-14 season. Bowen made his England Sevens debut on the Gold Coast, Australia in October 2014.[2]
