The one-time England international initially joined the Midlands side on loan during their successful Championship promotion push last term.[LNB]And with the Upton Park outfit then opting not to offer him a new deal, Bowyer made the move permanent in the summer.[LNB]Having played a key role in helping Alex McLeish's side secure their top-flight status last term, the former Leeds man is now enjoying the challenge of helping them remain in the Premier League.[LNB]He scored the only goal of the game against Fulham on Saturday to lift Blues to 13th in the table, four points above the relegation places. [LNB]Bowyer said: "I just like playing and enjoying my football. Days like this make waking up on Sunday mornings worthwhile.[LNB]"I wouldn't say I took a gamble coming here. All I wanted to do was to get playing football again. For one reason or another, they didn't want to extend my contract at West Ham and I came here. [LNB]"It's turned out to be a good move for all parties.[LNB]"A few players might have been happy merely to pick up their money. It would have been easy to do it because London is my home.[LNB]"But I didn't want to be sitting watching football. I'll be doing that when I finish playing. You have to play as much as you possibly can while you can."[LNB][LNB] Wolves v Birmingham. Click here to bet.
