Gavin Cowan (born 24 May 1981 in Hanover, Germany) is an English footballer. He plays as a centre-back for AFC Telford United.
Cowan began his career at non-league Braintree Town and moved to Canvey Island in 2003. He fell out of favour with Canvey Island manager Jeff King and in early 2005 was sent out on loan to Nuneaton Borough.
Impressing for the Football Conference side, he was spotted by Shrewsbury Town who signed him on a permanent deal in March 2005.
Shrewsbury did not use him regularly, with Cowan playing 15 times in the 2005-06 season. Early into the 2006-07 season he was sent out on loan to Kidderminster Harriers to gain more experience.[1]. He was recalled from this loan a few days short of the agreed month, in order to give him more preparation time for Shrewsbury's next league game, for which he appeared on the bench.[2]
Shrewsbury Town cancelled his contract on January 1, 2007, allowing him to join Grays Athletic. In March 2007, Cowan returned to Nuneaton Borough on one month's loan. Cowan was released by Grays Athletic by mutual consent on 9 June 2007.[3]
Finally after two loan previous spells in his career, Gavin returned to Nuneaton Borough signing a two year contract on 17 June 2007 ready for the club's Blue Square Northern promotion campaign ahead. Cowan's contract with Nuneaton was however announced to have been cancelled by mutual consent on 30th May, 2008.
On 31 May 2008 Cowan signed for AFC Telford United after being impressed by the teams previous campaign in the teams first season in Blue Square Northern.
