McGowan came on as a substitute for Chris McCready on 1 January 2014 Vs York City FC after impressing manager Jim Bentley.
In an interview Bentley sees McGowan as a prospect for the future of the club and the next big thing to come out of the lower leagues. McGowan was described as a Strong, Robust Attack minded player who loves a challenge. McGowan was the youngest player to play in the Football League in the 2012–2013 season at 16 Years and 6 Months old.

On 4 January 2016 McGowan signed a new 2 and a half year contract to keep him at the club until July 2018. The young Liverpudlian committed his future to the club after fending off interest that Championship and Premier League clubs were tracking the fullback. Speaking to The Visitor, McGowan stated it was a "no-brainier" to sign the new deal and also said that the interest surrounding the highly rated youngster never bothered him. "I just want to play games at 3 pm on a Saturday, that's it. Some young lads get carried away with gossip, I'm just looking to play each week and do the best I can to help my team to where we want to be."
