Career

Early career: Blackpool and Wimbledon

Nowland started his career at Blackpool in 1998 where he made his professional debut at the age of 17. When he scored the first of his six League goals for the club, on 19 September, he became the youngest Blackpool player ever to score a League goal.[1] Despite making 81 appearances (including 51 as a substitute in the League) and scoring seven goals for the Seasiders, he was released by manager Steve McMahon in 2001.

He signed for Wimbledon on 5 June 2001 where he made 63 appearances, scoring seven goals.

West Ham United

Nowland signed for West Ham United on 23 January 2004, making eleven appearances for the club that season. After playing five games at the start of the 2004–05 season, Nowland was loaned out for one month to Gillingham on 30 September 2004, where he played three games, scoring one goal against Burnley. On his return to West Ham he played in their 1–0 League Cup defeat to Chelsea on 27 October.[2]

Nottingham Forest

On 5 November 2004 Nottingham Forest signed Nowland for £250,000. He made his debut the following day in a 2–1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. However, he was to make only five appearances that season.

Preston North End

Nowland joined Preston North End on a free transfer on 27 August 2005. His debut came on 16 September in 1–0 home defeat by Stoke City. He made a good start for the club, scoring three goals in nine starts, but then suffered a broken leg on 2 January 2006 in a 3–0 victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road after a bad challenge by Dickson Etuhu – a player still on loan from Preston at the time. He was out of action for the rest of the 2005–06 season and missed most of the 2006–07 season before returning to action on 17 March 2007 in a 2–0 home win over Lancashire rivals Burnley. It was to be his only appearance that season.

On 20 September 2007 he once again joined Gillingham on a month's loan,[3] where he made six appearances, before returning to Preston on 20 October.

On 9 November he was loaned out again, this time to Stockport County until 1 January 2008.,[4] making four appearances. In January 2008 he was released by Preston.

Notts County

Nowland was without a club until he signed for Notts County on 26 June 2008.[5] He made his debut on 22 September in a 4–0 victory over former loan club Gillingham. After making 21 appearances in the 2007–08 season, Nowland was released by Notts County on 30 April 2009.

Return to Blackpool

On 10 August 2009 Nowland signed for Championship side Blackpool on a non-contract basis.[6] He scored his first goal in his second spell with "the Seasiders" in what was his only game, a 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra in the first round of the 2009–10 League Cup on 11 August 2009.[7] Two days later he was released.[8] He then signed for Northern Premier League Division One North side A.F.C. Fylde in September 2009.

North America

Nowland joined the new USSF Division 2 franchise FC Tampa Bay in January 2010.[9] Nowland was released after making only one league appearance.

On 23 February 2011 North Sound SeaWolves of the USL Premier Development League announced the signing of Nowland as player-coach.[10] Nowland will serve as assistant coach to head coach Alex Silva as well as be a field player for the squad.

After only 3 matches with North Sound, Nowland transferred to the Washington Crossfire and made his debut on 4 June 2011, in a 2–0 loss to Victoria Highlanders.[11]

Later in 2011, he joined the Tacoma Stars of the Professional Arena Soccer League.[12]
