Owen joined just4keepers a couple of months ago after sadly being released by Swansea City. He came to us wanting to improve his goalkeeping talent and prove a point to the club that released him.
Owen started kicking a ball around at 18 months old, Owens later passion for goalkeeping came from following in his fathers footsteps who was also a goalkeeper. When he was 6 his father was asked to lead an under 7s team at Crumlin where he built a successful team with Owen staring in goal. As a huge spurs fan Owen's parents used to regularly take him to goalkeeping holiday schools at White Heart Lane.
After playing in a tournament at Risca, The big boys came calling when Cardiff City approached him, but before Cardiff could seal a deal, Swansea came in and he signed for their centre of excellence. At this time Owen was also playing for the Caerphilly under 8's academy.
Swansea took him for a 6 week trial before later signing him from under 9's till under 14's. During his time at Swansea Owen has played all over the UK, playing against teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Bristol, Southampton, Plymouth to name but a few.
He also was selected for the Welsh regional squad training but unfortunately didn't progress to the camps. After being released by Swansea, he's now been selected for Merthyr Town trails and Caerphilly schoolboys and he is also waiting to hear back from Swindon Town after recently impressing at a trail day.
It is plain to see that Owen has a great deal of talent for goalkeeping, and we hope to develop this talent further and hopefully Owen can develop into a great goalkeeper.

As owens mum it was heartbreaking to see his loss of confidence after being released .. He thought about quitting so we quickly realised he needed a focus again.. Working with Ady at JFK has relit his spark and its a pleasure to see him come home after his sessions .. I know I have bias but recent performances at trials I have seen improvement and know he will be able to achieve his potential at what ever level that turns out to be
