Player
In 1991, Bowers signed with the San Diego Sockers of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL).  While he played in the Sockers season opener, at some point he moved to the Detroit Rockers of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL).  He was selected as the NPSL Rookie of the Year.  He remained with the Rockers until 1995, winning 1994 and 1995 Defender of the Year honors.  In addition to playing with the Rockers in 1993, Bowers also played a single season with the Sacramento Knights of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL), a summer indoor league.  He was named CISL Defender of the Year.  In 1995 and 1996, he returned to the CISL, this time with the Anaheim Splash.  The Kansas City Wiz of the outdoor Major League Soccer selected Bowers in the third round (26th overall) in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft.  He played four seasons with the Wizards, serving as the team captain in 1999.  However, he continued to play indoor soccer, returning to the Detroit Rockers in 1997.  He played with the Rockers until 2001, when the team folded.  The Baltimore Blast selected Bowers in the dispersal draft.  That summer, the NPSL also gave way to the new Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL).  Bowers spent two season with the Blast, winning the 2003 league championship with them.  July 16, 2003, the Blast traded Bowers to the San Diego Sockers in exchange for Carlos Farias and the first and second picks in the 2003 Amateur Draft.  He played thirty-three games with the Sockers in 2003–2005, but only five games the next season before the Sockers folded.  Rather than pursuing his playing career further, Bowers elected to retire, settle in his hometown and pursue a coaching career.  In 2009, he joined the San Diego Sockers of the Professional Arena Soccer League.
