Bowman to Bath City

Larkhall Athletic have confirmed that midfielder Matt Bowman has made the move to Bath City, taking up an opportunity to test himself at a higher level.

Chairman Paul Rankin expressed both pride and understanding at Bowman’s departure, saying:

“We are disappointed to lose Matt Bowman to Bath City, but delighted for him. He has wanted to test himself at a higher level and has been given the opportunity following an introduction from us. We are confident that Matt will be a success at their level and moving in that direction rather than to another suitor chasing him will improve the relationship between Larkhall and Bath City.”

Manager Ollie Price echoed those sentiments, praising Bowman’s contribution and professionalism during his time at the club:

“Matt Bowman has taken up an offer to trial with Bath City so will not be available for the foreseeable. We wish him the best of luck as he deserves this chance to show what he can do at a higher level. He’s been an outstanding player for me since coming into the team, contributing with some commanding performances and important goals.”

Price went on to highlight Bowman’s ambition and impact:

“Matty has always had ambition to play at a higher level and we were lucky to have him for as long as we did. From his first appearance to his last, his physique, technique and eye for a goal helped us achieve some brilliant results. He’s another player that we’ve helped develop and improve and now kick on. Matty is a great lad from a lovely family and we wish him the best of luck for the future.”

Bowman’s move marks another success story for Larkhall Athletic’s player development, with both club and supporters wishing him every success as he takes this next step in his career.
