Owen played mainly at full back for the Tigers in 2009 where he showed some excellent form.
In round three of 2010 Richie suffered a badly broken leg against the Bradford Bulls.
After signing a new two-year deal for the 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. In October 2014, he joined Wakefield on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract.
