President John McCann has penned a passionate message thanking Jaye Bowden for his incredible contribution to the club, and highlighting plans for the future to make sure his legacy is ongoing:
“The Bowden name has long been associated with the Glenorchy District Football Club and although Jaye took on the mantel of that greatly respected name and champion tradition from grandfather Roy, father Michael Bowden (and maternal grandfather Norm Handley) at KGV, he did it in his own way.
Bowden calls time on TSL career

After 243 games and 547 goals as a Magpie, one of Glenorchy’s greatest, Jaye Bowden, is calling time on his illustrious state league career.
Bowden arrived at KGV from Brighton juniors as a 15 year-old, and debuted in the senior team as a defender in 2006 aged 17.
Of course, he would go on to make his name as a damaging midfielder and prolific goal-kicker, becoming just the second Glenorchy player – after Peter Hudson – to kick 500 career goals in Round 3 last season, when he booted six goals in a 62-point win over Clarence at Bellerive.
