The winger, who rejoined the club following the mutual termination of his contract with Nottingham Forest, has represented the Seasiders on two previous occasions.
Across his past stints in Tangerine, the 26-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 72 appearances.
Despite having a tough few years, with recent loan spells with the likes of Preston North End and Luton Town not working out, Bowler is hopeful he can produce the type of performances that made him a Bloomfield Road favourite in the past.
His first opportunity to do that will come against Northampton Town away at Sixfields this weekend (K.O. 12.30pm).
The last time Bowler featured in a game for Blackpool was a 1-0 victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road on May 8, 2022.
Despite picking up three points that day, the Seasiders had already been relegated from the Championship at that point, and there’s been a lot of change on the Fylde Coast since then.
As for the players who featured against the Canaries, the majority of them have gone different paths, with very few being part of Steve Bruce’s current squad.
Here’s where the last Blackpool team to feature Bowler are now:
