Bowey is the son of former St Kilda player Brett Bowey.
Bowey participated in the Auskick program at the Highett Football Club.[1] He went on to play junior and senior football with the club and under 18 football with the Sandringham in the NAB League.[citation needed]
He was educated at Cheltenham Secondary College.[2]
Bowey was drafted by the Melbourne Football Club with pick 21, in the 2020 AFL draft.[3]
Bowey made his AFL debut in the Demon's 98-point victory against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium in round 20, 2021.[4] Bowey held his spot in the best 22 which propelled Melbourne to its first premiership since 1964.
Bowey would go on to feature in 17-straight wins for Melbourne to start his career, almost breaking the V/AFL record of Collingwood's Albert Lauder set in the 1920s, when Lauder played in 18-straight wins to start his career.[5]
