For
Cowley, signing for Walthamstow is returning to his roots. He told https://www.walthamstowfc.com:
“I grew up in Walthamstow. I’m coming up to the end of my career now and I
started out at Waltham Forest. I played for West Ham and was there for around
11 years and I was in the pro-game for a while. I’m in my early 30’s and it
will be nice to it out in Walthamstow. I didn’t expect to be at Walthamstow but
when I received the call, I knew it would be a good one”. |
