Early life
Born in Bristol, Owen-Evans was raised in the Forest of Dean. He is childhood friends with fellow Newport academy graduate Kieran Parselle having attended the same school in Bristol.
Career
Owen-Evans is a product of the Newport County Academy. In the 2014–15 season he was an unused substitute in a number of League Two matches under managers Justin Edinburgh and Jimmy Dack. He made his Football League debut for Newport County aged 18 on 25 April 2015 as a second-half substitute in a League Two match versus York City. Newport won the match 2–0. He signed his first senior contract with Newport a month later in May 2015.
Owen-Evans started the 2015–16 season by coming off the bench in County's 3–0 away loss to Cambridge United.
On 23 September 2016, Owen-Evans joined Gloucester City on loan until 1 January 2017, as cover for injured midfielder Chris Knowles. A clerical error during his signing almost resulted in him missing his first match, having signed incorrect contract papers forcing him to return to Newport to complete the move. Despite this, he made his debut for the club during a 3–1 defeat to Harrogate Town. He was recalled by Newport on 7 November 2016. He scored his first goal for Newport on 10 December 2016 in a League Two match against Morecambe but the match was abandoned at half-time due to a waterlogged pitch with Newport leading 1–0 so the goal was struck from the records. Owen-Evans scored his first recorded goal in a 1–0 League Two win against Exeter City on 8 April 2017. On 11 May 2017 Owen-Evans signed a new two-year contract with Newport County.
