I know nothing about either player, although the Sunday Mail reports that Saints boss John Coughlin has long been an admirer of Bowey's talents. This could suggest Coughlin has the job for next season, and as well as dropping the players that are leaving is starting to sign players for next season.
There is a fair chance that Bowey and Harty will be the first of many out of contract players to be linked with Saints.
As reported yesterday, it is likely that Gillies, Martin Cameron and Ludovic Roy won't have signed new contracts by the end of the tomorrow, the club imposed deadline, and will have played their last game for Saints.
