Early life
Born in Bristol, Owen-Evans was raised in the Forest of Dean.[2] He is childhood friends with fellow Newport academy graduate Kieran Parselle having attended the same school in Bristol.[3]
Career
Owen-Evans is a product of the Newport County Academy. In the 2014–15 season he was an unused substitute in a number of League Two matches under managers Justin Edinburgh and Jimmy Dack. He made his Football League debut for Newport County under Dack aged 18 on 25 April 2015 as a second-half substitute in a League Two match versus York City.[4] Newport won the match 2–0. He signed his first senior contract with Newport a month later in May 2015.[5]
Owen-Evans started the 2015–16 season by coming off the bench in County's 3–0 away loss to Cambridge United.[6]
On 23 September 2016, Owen-Evans joined Gloucester City on loan until 1 January 2017, as cover for injured midfielder Chris Knowles.[7] A clerical error during his signing almost resulted in him missing his first match, having signed incorrect contract papers forcing him to return to Newport to complete the move.[2] Despite this, he made his debut for the club during a 3–1 defeat to Harrogate Town. He was recalled by Newport on 7 November 2016. He scored his first goal for Newport on 10 December 2016 in a League Two match against Morecambe but the match was abandoned at half-time due to a waterlogged pitch with Newport leading 1–0 so the goal was struck from the records.[8] Owen-Evans scored his first recorded goal in a 1–0 League Two win against Exeter City on 8 April 2017.[9] On 11 May 2017 Owen-Evans signed a new two-year contract with Newport County.[10] On 28 February 2018 Owen-Evans joined Truro City on loan until the end of the 2017-18 season.[11]
Owen-Evans moved to Scottish Championship club Falkirk in June 2018.[12]
