[1] He made his debut as a substitute in November 2014, after Derek Gaston was injured against Stenhousemuir. He made his first start in the Scottish Cup in a defeat to Spartans, [2] before making his first league start in February 2016 after Gaston suffered a concussion in the previous match. [3]

McGowan agreed a new one-year deal for the 2016–17 season. [4] He spent time on loan at Cumbernauld United, either side of the summer in 2016. [5]

In May 2017, he again signed up for a further year at Morton. [6] He was then loaned to Troon in August 2017. [7]

Although his contract expired at the end of the 2017-18 season, new manager Ray McKinnon invited him in for pre-season training to assess him [8] however he declined the offer to sign for Scottish League One side Dumbarton. [9] After making just five appearances for the club, he was released in January 2019 [10] and signed for SJFA West Region Premiership side Largs Thistle. [11]
