Centre Midfield
Owen is a versatile holding midfielder who excels at both defensive duties and supporting the attack, even stepping in as a center-back when needed. He possesses exceptional vision, spotting passes that others might miss, and a sharp footballing mind that grants him extra time and space on the ball to contribute going forward. His powerful long-range shot makes him a constant threat, while his strength, ball control, and toughness in tackles add to his effectiveness. A well-rounded player and a valuable asset to any team."

“I am currently head coach for Owen’s current team BJFF, Owen is a fantastic lad who shows his class on and off the pitch, always a great mixer for new players. Owen works hard in training and playing in his CDM role he is a key player for our teams success this season, he’s had a wrist injury recently for 3 weeks and missing him for 3 games you could really tell the difference that nobody plays that defensive role as well as him. Always got a smile on his face and listens well to instructions. He has a fantastic footballing brain and reads the play brilliantly, finding passes I don’t even see. Really strong defender and good in the air, being a young team playing against adults it’s handy to have that physicality in the team. Really happy to have him on my team.”
“I coached Owen for 2 years at Poulton Town where we won the League and Cup in 2023 and the Cup in 2022, Owen played such a vital role in these two seasons scoring crucial goals and being an asset to my midfield and defence, he is a tall lad and loved using his body effectively, very good at winning the ball and escaping pressure and had all round a footballing brain, he played such a good role and was a lovely lad , wishing you all the best mate.”
“I’ve watched Owen grow up into the man he is today and it’s amazing too see, Being such a kind and funny young man, without even talking about the talent he has on the pitch, he boosts team morale and is a natural leader and crucial to the team . Owen’s defensive awareness is fantastic, he reads the play so sharply and plays intelligent passes going forward . He’s a joy to watch and coach and being such a fantastic player and man gives me so much confidence he’s going to excel in any opportunity he gets .”
