Career

[edit | edit source]

Chesterfield

[edit | edit source]

Born in Nottingham, Bowery represented Derby County as a schoolboy but was not signed as a scholar and eventually moved on to Chesterfield.[3] Bowery made his professional debut for Chesterfield on 30 August 2008, in a 1–0 defeat against Wycombe Wanderers. On 19 November 2009, Bowery joined Conference Premier club Barrow on loan for six weeks.[4] Bowery scored his first goal in the Football League on 29 January 2011, in a 2–2 home draw against Bradford City.[5] On 15 September 2011, Bowery signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until June 2014.[6]

Aston Villa

[edit | edit source]

Bowery signed for Aston Villa on 31 August 2012.[7] He signed on loan for Doncaster Rovers in February 2014.[8]

Rotherham United

On 10 June 2014, Bowery joined Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee, breaking the Millers' transfer record of £160,000 for Lee Frecklington in January 2013.[9] He signed on loan for Bradford City in November 2015.[10] He left Rotherham by mutual consent in January 2016.[11]

Oxford United

[edit | edit source]

On 22 January, Bowery joined Oxford United on a deal until the end of the season.[12] He scored 7 league goals in 9 starts and 8 substitute appearances[13] and was part of the team that won promotion to League One, finishing second in League Two.[14]

Leyton Orient

[edit | edit source]

On 5 July 2016, Bowery joined Leyton Orient on a two-year deal upon his release from Oxford United.[15]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit | edit source]

He moved to Crewe Alexandra on loan in January 2017,[16] and scored his first Crewe goal on 14 March at Crawley Town.[17] On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Bowery would be returning to his parent club,[18] however two weeks later on 23 May, Crewe announced that Bowery had signed a two-year contract with the club, as his Leyton Orient contract included a relegation release clause which allowed him to leave.[19] After scoring 22 times in 99 games over two seasons,[20][21] he was offered a new contract by Crewe at the end of the 2018–19 season, but declined to extend his stay at Gresty Road.[22]

Milton Keynes Dons

[edit | edit source]

On 11 June 2019, it was announced that Bowery would join newly promoted League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a free transfer effective from 1 July 2019.[23][24] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers.[25]

Mansfield Town

[edit | edit source]

On 22 June 2020 it was announced that he would join Mansfield Town on 1 August 2020, after signing on a free transfer.[26][27] Following defeat in the 2022 EFL League Two play-off final, Bowery signed a new two-year contract.[28]

On 29 May 2025, the club announced he had signed a new one-year contract.[29]

Playing style

[edit | edit source]

Playing as a forward for most of his career, Bowery began playing as a defender for Mansfield in the 2022–23 season.[30] He played at both centre back and right back, and he said he appreciated the "trust" placed in him by Mansfield manager Nigel Clough.[31] He was later described as a "versatile" player.[32][33] Playing primarily as a defender from that time, Bowery returned to playing as a forward in November 2023 due to an injury to striker Lucas Akins.[34]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Born in England, Thomas is of Kittitian descent through his father, the former footballer Bert, who was born in the Caribbean country.

Bowery was called up to the Saint Kitts and Nevis national team on 2 June 2025 and made his debut in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago.[35][36]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Bowery's father, Bert, was also a professional footballer who played in England and the United States.[37]
