Bowyer, who missed most of last season with a groin injury, is now close
to full fitness and is looking forward to the opening day of the new campaign.
The midfielder was on the scoresheet when the Hammers drew 1-1 with Wigan in the second match of last season
and he would love to do it again.
Bowyer told the club's official website: "It's always exciting when the fixtures come out because you get to
see who you are playing and when you've got the big teams and also the newly-promoted teams."
"I myself have never played against Hull so that is one I am looking forward to and knowing what the first fixture
is gives you something to work towards and focus on being a part of. If you look at the first eight games it is a really good
chance for a positive start."
"I have been in and working hard all summer to get fit and I'm feeling good so I've targetted that Wigan game
to make a full return and it would be even better if I could get another against them. After the way I started last season
and getting on the scoresheet a few times it was a very frustrating second half to the campaign so I am looking forward to
putting that behind me."
