Steven "Steve" Bowey (born 10 July 1974) is an English footballer who is a free agent at present.
[edit] Career
Born in Durham, County Durham, Bowey started his career at Forest Green Rovers and then played for Bristol Rovers, where he made no appearances, before moving on to Gateshead where he played approximately 200 times.[citation needed] After a significant spell at Gateshead, Bowey joined Scottish side Queen of the South. His tenacious midfield play and consistently high form quickly made him into a fans' favourite playing alongside Jim Thomson, Andy Aitken, John O'Neill, Sean O'Connor and Peter Weatherson.[1]
Bowey joined Conference National team York City from Queen of the South in June 2006, after York had initially played down reports that he was set to join them.[2] He scored his first goal for York against Stevenage Borough on 15 August 2006 in a 2–1 victory, which turned out to be the winning goal. He was released by York at the end of the 2006–07 season on 16 May 2007.[3]
Bowey rejoined Gateshead on 17 May 2007 following his release by York.[4] After captaining Gateshead to promotion from the Northern Premier League Premier Division via the play-offs, he failed to agree terms for the following season and was released.[5] He joined Newcastle Blue Star for the 2008–09 season in May 2008.[6] He was appointed as the club's player-manager in August after player-coaches Dean Gordon and Mark Birch left the club.[7] In February 2010, Bowey joined Scottish First Division side Ayr United from Bedlington Terriers to help their relegation battle.[8] In May 2010 he signed for Conference North side Harrogate Town.[9] Unfortunately, Bowey would not have a happy debut against Corby Town as he had to come off at half time with a leg injury that would keep him out of action for 10 matches. On his return he was handed the captain's armband from Martin Foster. Bowey's first goal for Harrogate Town came on 30 October 2010 against Redditch United
On 13 May 2011, Bowey was released from Harrogate Town after his contract wasn't renewed for the new season.[10]
