Before he joined Pompey, he previously spent time on trial with Manchester United and Chelsea as a 16-year-old.

On 2 January 2010, Cowan-Hall joined Grimsby Town on loan,[3] making his first appearance as a late substitute in injury time against Bury.[4] The following week, Cowan-Hall missed the league clash with Cheltenham Town due to tonsillitis, and several days later he was forced to cut short his loan spell after contracting glandular fever.[5] On 27 January 2010, Cowan-Hall re-signed for Grimsby for a second loan spell, this time until the end of the 2009–10 season.[6] However, in March 2010 he returned to Portsmouth early with a hamstring injury after making only two substitute appearances in his second spell at Blundell Park.[7] He was released by Portsmouth in July 2010 after the club's relegation from the Premier League.[8]
Following his release from Portsmouth, Cowan-Hall had trials at Burnley,[9] Hull City,[10] Brighton & Hove Albion,[11] Derby County[12] and Oldham Athletic.[13]
In October 2010, Cowan-Hall made an appearance for Scunthorpe United reserves on trial. After impressing he was invited back to their reserve match the next week.

Cowan-Hall signed for Plymouth Argyle on 29 May 2012 after rejecting a new contract offer from Woking.[20][21] He joined the club on 1 July for an undisclosed fee, with Plymouth paying Woking compensation due to his age.[22] He scored on his competitive debut in a 3–0 Football League Cup win against Portsmouth on 14 August.
