Cowan started his career with Shamrock Rovers, playing for the club's 'A' team before making a number of substitute appearances for the first-team over two seasons. He joined Longford Town on loan to gain first-team experience, and the move was made permanent ahead of the 2011 season. After playing regularly at Longford, Cowan signed for League One club Stevenage for an undisclosed fee in August 2011. Cowan joined Braintree Town on a one-month loan deal in November 2012, which was curtailed due to injury. He left Stevenage by mutual consent in January 2013.
Cowan signed one-month contracts at Dundee and Southend United later that year, as well as returning to Stevenage on a one-month agreement in September 2013. Cowan then returned to Longford in January 2014, helping the club achieve promotion to the League of Ireland Premier Division during the 2014 season. He spent four seasons at Longford before retiring from football in 2017.
