Jason Bowen

Llanelli captured the signing of former Swansea City star, Jason Bowen from Newport County in July 2008 and he made his debut for the Reds in the Champions League Qualifier against Ventspils at Stebonheath in a 1-0 victory.

The talented winger, who played for County against the Reds in the Premier Cup Final in 2007/08, will boost the Stebonheath Park's outfit in their bid to retain the Championship. Bowen can play either in Midfield or in attack and he is looking forward to a fresh challenge in the Welsh Premier League and in European Football.

The 36-year old, who was born in Merthyr Tydfil, was capped twice by Wales in a career which started at the Vetch Field, Swansea. He made his league debut for the Swans in the 1990/91 season under Terry Yorath and in his five seasons at The Vetch, he played 124 league games, scoring 26 goals. Whilst at Swansea, he progressed from the Welsh schools and youth set-ups through to the full international squad, earning his first full cap from Mike Smith in a 2-1 win in Estonia in 1994.

In July 1995, he then moved to Birmingham City where he remained for a further three years. He won his second Welsh cap in a 7-1 defeat in Holland in 1996. He had a spell on loan at Southampton in September 1997 and made 3 appearances in the Premiership, before returning to Birmingham.

He then moved to Reading in December 1997 before returning to Wales in January 1999 where he spent five years with Cardiff City, suffering one relegation but offsetting that with three promotions, before joining Newport County in August 2004.
