Matthew Bowen

Matthew Jeremy Bowen (born 9 March 1982) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 2000s, and 2010s. An Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative fullback, he played in the National Rugby League for Australian club, North Queensland Cowboys, with whom he set the clubs record for most matches, and in the Super League for English club, Wigan Warriors. Bowen was the NRLs top try-scorer in the 2005 and 2007 seasons. Former Queensland and Australian captain Darren Lockyer has called Bowen a little freak, citing his skills and dynamism. Two-time premiership winning coach Phil Gould remarked in 2005 that he was a modern-day icon of the game, saying that Bowen has unique football instincts. He performs the difficult with ease and some of his feats have redefined what we once believed to be impossible.
