Club career

Brentford Adept at left back or centre back, Owens began his career with Wingate & Finchley, before joining the academy at Brentford and signing a scholarship deal at the end of the 2013–14 season. He made 43 appearances and scored four goals for the youth team and had a one-month work experience loan at Hayes & Yeading United prior to his release in January 2016.

AFC Wimbledon Owens joined the Development Squad at League One club AFC Wimbledon on trial during the 2016–17 pre-season and impressed enough to sign his first professional contract on 9 August 2016. He finished the 2016–17 season with six appearances and was nominated for the club's Young Player of the Year award.

Early in the 2017–18 season, Owens joined National League South club Whitehawk on loan. He made his only appearance for the club with a start in a 1–0 defeat to Concord Rangers on 19 August 2017. Owens' loan was terminated after he sustained a knee injury in training in the days leading up to the Hawks' match with Braintree Town on 26 August. The injury ruled Owens out for the majority of the 2017–18 season.

Non-League football Prior to the beginning of the 2018–19 season, Owens dropped into non-League football to join Isthmian League North Division club Maldon & Tiptree. After seven appearances, he transferred to Southern League Premier Division South club Staines Town. After just two appearances for Staines Town, Owens moved across the division to Farnborough in late-December 2018. He ended the 2021–22 season with Combined Counties League Premier Division North club Burnham. He made five appearances and did not appear past 14 November 2022.
