Club career
Owens began his career with Hamilton Academical, moving on loan to Clydebank in July 2021, where he made two league appearances. Later that season he also spent time on loan at Bo'ness Athletic and Blackburn United.
He spent the first half of the 2023–24 season on loan with Kelty Hearts. He was recalled in January 2024 following impressive performances, and signed a new two-year contract with Hamilton in April 2024.
In January 2026, days after being close to a transfer to East Kilbride, he signed for Greenock Morton, saying that he was hoping to revive his career. The transfer was welcomed by Greenock player Jackson Longridge, who had played with Owens at Hamilton. Owens made a notable mistake in a game in March, but later that month praised the club's fighting spirit as they challenged relegation.
In May 2026 he left Greenock, and in June 2026, Owens returned to Hamilton.
