Jowitt was part of Leinster's Heineken Cup-winning panel in 2009, although he did not play in the final. In 2006, he scored an important try in the quarter-final against Stade Toulousain,[3] one of 4 tries he scored in that year's competition.[4] He was also part of the Leinster panel that secured the Celtic League in the 2007-8 season, scoring in the championship game of the competition.[5] Jowitt was released by Leinster at the end of the 2008-9 season, moving first to Northland Rugby Union, before signing with the NSW Waratahs for the 2010 Super 14 season,[6] where a foot injury curtailed his playing time[7] and he was released before the start of the 2012 season.[8]
