Owens, playing at number eight, scored two tries in that game helping the British to a 27–6 victory.[11]

Owens played in one Challenge Cup final being on the losing side at Leeds lost 4–8 defeat by Bradford Northern in the 1946–47 Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 3 May 1947.

Before the start of the 1948–49 season Owens asked for a transfer from Leeds and in October 1948 he signed for Castleford for a fee of £2,750.[15][16] Owens only played seven games for Castleford before moving to Huddersfield in January 1949, again for a fee of £2,750.[17]

During Owens' second season with Huddersfield (1949–50), the team reached both the Championship Final, and the final of the Yorkshire Cup but lost both; the Championship 2–20 to Wigan and the Cup to 4–11 to Bradford Northern.[18]

At the end of the 1951–52 season Owens retired aged 33, and returned to Wales.[19]
