A former sprinter, who represented Great Britain U20's in the 200m, 400m, 4 × 100 m and 4 × 400 m, and was crowned national indoor champion in the 400m at U20, Owsley was a member of the Bristol Bears academy, signing a professional contract in May 2020. [3]

He joined Edinburgh Rugby in April 2021, having not made a professional appearance for Bristol, with the intention of playing for Scotland. [4] He made his Edinburgh debut in Round 4 of the 2021–22 EPCR Challenge Cup against Brive, scoring two tries. [5]

In 2022 Owsley was called up to the Scotland Men's 7s squad for the first time ahead of the Toulouse and London legs of the 2021–22 HSBC World Sevens Series. [6] He competed at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town. [7]
