Owens was brought to the Mariners before their Hyundai A-League 2007/08 campaign as one of the clubs major off-season recruits and on several occasions throughout the ensuing season, the attacking ace lived up to the hype. Most notably, Owens’ long range speculator against the Perth Glory at Members Equity Stadium in Round 13 was a legitimate candidate for the Mariners’ goal of the season and his general mid-season form was a standout feature of the club’s charge to the Premiership. Owens’ CV also reads of vast youth international experience, including a pair of goals at the 2001 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Argentina – a tournament where Owens opposed Brazilian football icons Adriano and Kaka. Few players can match Owens’ elegance and dynamism when going forward and those in terraces around the country will relish chances to witness one of the Hyundai A-League’s most exciting attacking players.
