He appeared seven times for Barry, scoring twice, before returning to Cardiff in January 2021 following the suspension of the Cymru Premier due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Bowen made his professional debut for Cardiff during a 2–0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Cup on 24 August 2021.[4] He made his league debut three weeks later in a 2–1 win over Nottingham Forest.[5]
