Team

Bowman, 21, arrives at the club from French side Montauban, where the midfielder has been developing within the Pro D2 club’s Espoirs program since 2021.

The six-foot-one, 210-pound back represented Canada at the World Rugby Under-20 Canada Conference tournament held in Guelph, Ont., last August, serving as team captain. He was also selected to the national under-20 program’s touring side in 2020.

Bowman previously donned the Maple Leaf with the national under-18 program – a side he also captained – in 2019. Later that year, he participated in the World School Sevens competition in New Zealand with the Canadian Misfits team, where he competed against his future Arrows teammate Nic Benn.

Prior to departing for France, Bowman spent a year with Rugby Canada’s Pacific Pride national development program.

The Oakville, Ont. native played his grassroots rugby with his local Oakville Crusaders.
