Former Cardiff City, Swansea City, Newport County and Wales footballer Jason Bowen diagnosed with motor neurone disease

Former Wales football international Jason Bowen has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, his family have confirmed.

The ex-winger, 50, will be loved by many in south Wales owing to his stellar football career which spanned all three Football League clubs. He was also capped twice by his country between 1994 and 1996.

Bowen, who also played for Birmingham City, Reading and Llanelli, was given the devastating diagnosis in March 2021, 13 years after his wife Hayley's mum had died of the disease.
