In round three of 2010 Richie suffered a badly broken leg against the Bradford Bulls.
After signing a new two-year deal for the Castleford Tigers in 2010, Owen made a try scoring return for his club in a round eight victory over Hull FC.
In May 2014, Owen joined Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on loan until the end of the season. [4] In October 2014, he joined Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract. [5]
He was a free agent having been released from his contract with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats by mutual consent in 2016.
In 2012 Owen was given a 12 months suspended sentence and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service for affray and actual bodily harm. The charges related to his role in a brawl outside a Pontefract nightclub the previous year. The court heard Owen punched a man dressed as Santa Claus who was rendered unconscious and sustained a fractured jaw as a result. [6]
Owen was remanded in custody between December 2016 and January 2017 on suspicion of three counts of sexual assault, actual bodily harm and theft. He was later cleared of all offences after being found not guilty in May 2017. [7]
