Bowden is a captain by name and a captain by nature. Setting the standard this season with an incredible defensive record for a half back, and also possesses a dangerous kicking game when in attack, and a good ability to break the line or produce the killer pass. Starting out his career in Coppull for the Chorley Panthers, playing centre and winger, he joined the Blue Ghosts in 2014 and switched to his now more familiar role at half back.

There are far worse players to get compared to than Wigan captain Sean O'Loughlin, and there are some very big similarities between the two players. Both players possess stellar attacking and defensive capabilities, and lead their teams from the front.
