After winning the Europa Conference League under former manager David Moyes, Bowen admits lifting the FA Cup is now the priority.
He told whufc.com: "Speaking to the lads at the start of the season, I said I'd love to win an FA Cup here in my time, which people always say is a bit random.
"But I think when you have grown up watching the FA Cup and seeing teams win it, and I know we've won it here before.
“Crystal Palace won it last year, and you saw their fans and the way they reacted to it. Not many people probably thought Crystal Palace would win the FA Cup, so it's a credit to them that they went on and won it.
“Obviously in the Premier League, I want to be back playing in Europe. We've had some amazing trips here in the UEFA Europa League and Conference League, so obviously that's the long-term aim, where we want to be in the Premier League. I think this Club should be playing in Europe every single year.
“Obviously it's not as easy as just saying it, you have to do it as well, but I think one thing I'd love to do, especially being captain now, is lift a trophy, and it would be right up there with my proudest moments.”
