Bowyer, preparing for a return to action in the FA Cup tie against
Manchester City this weekend, was in the Hammers side that lost 2-0 at home to City on the opening day of the season.
The midfielder later desribed the match as the worst he had ever played in and that his
own performance was "unacceptable".
But Bowyer turned his fortunes around by scoring four goals in 10 league appearances before
a hernia operation consigned him to the treatment room.
Manager Alan Curbishley is hoping to have Bowyer back against Sven-Goran Eriksson's side on
Saturday and the player has already set his sights on ending his career with the club.
Bowyer said: "I would like to finish playing here. That would be my ideal; the icing on the
cake for me and my career."
"I support the club, I love the club; always have and always will. It will be the perfect
scenario for me to finish at the club I love."
