He was released by Stevenage at the end of the 2019–20 season.[8]

Following his release, Cowley played in a friendly with previous club Bromsgrove Sporting. He scored once in this match.[9]

On 14 September 2020, Cowley signed for National League club Macclesfield Town.[10] However, on 16 September the club was wound up due to debts.[11] Cowley later returned to Southern League Premier Division Central side Bromsgrove Sporting, signing for them on 2 October 2020.[12] On 1 January 2021, Cowley joined National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on a one-month loan deal.[13]

He signed for Stourbridge in June 2021.[14]

On 12 June 2023, Cowley signed for National League North club Hereford for an undisclosed fee.[15] He was top goalscorer for Hereford during the 2023–24 season with 12 goals across all competitions, despite missing a large chunk of the season due to injury. He signed a contract extension in May 2024 to keep him at Hereford until the end of the 2024–25 season.[16]
