Career
Chris Gowans was recruited from Werribee Football Club to the Street Kilda Football Club of the Australian Football League with the 25th selection in the 1999 Rookie Draft.

Chris, along with twin brother James, has played in an unprecedented 17 consecutive Grand Finals (1995 - 97 with Anglesea, 1998 with Werribee, 1999 with Street Kilda Reserves, 2000 - 11 with Central District).
