Gary Owers (born 3 October 1968) is an English former professional footballer, and current manager of National League South club Bath City. He was previously manager of Forest Green Rovers as well as the assistant manager at League Two sides Aldershot Town and Plymouth Argyle and National League outfit Gateshead
Born in Gateshead, Owers began his career with Sunderland, making his debut in 1986 and playing in the 1992 FA Cup Final, in which Sunderland lost to Liverpool. In December 1994 Owers moved to Bristol City for a fee of £250,000, and he spent four years there, before moving to Sam Allardyce's Notts County in the summer of 1998. In 2000 Owers signed a new two-year deal with Notts County. He was released by Notts County at the end of the 2001-02 season and was signed by Nigel Spink, the manager of Forest Green Rovers in August 2002.
Owers became player-coach at Bath City in October 2003. He was appointed as Bath's new manager the following month, and led them to sixth place in the Southern League Premier Division in 2005-2006, missing out on the play-offs on goal difference.
Owers replaced Alan Lewer as manager of Forest Green Rovers in May 2005 after they had been relegated from the Conference National. However, they got a surprise reprieve as Northwich Victoria's ground failed to meet division rules, meaning they were relegated with Forest Green taking their place.
