He made his Walsall debut at the Bescot Stadium on 9 August 2011, replacing Ryan Jarvis 81 minutes into a 3–0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the League Cup.[6][7] He scored his first professional goal after coming on as a substitute in a 4–2 home defeat to Bury on 19 November.[6] Bowerman began 2012–13 with six goals from eleven games, but scored only once more in the remainder of the season,[8] and was released.[9]

Accrington Stanley[edit]

After playing twice for Woking in the Conference,[10] Bowerman joined League Two club Accrington Stanley in October 2013 until the end of the season.[9]
