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

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

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

Crewe Alexandra

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]

Playing style

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 e 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]
