Manager, Gio van Bronckhorst, who worked with Bowley during a short spell at the City Football Group commented: "I worked with him a couple of years ago and built-up a good relationship with him.
"He will join my staff and help all of us to improve our players, and the players will work closely with him to make sure their development goes faster.
"We have identified areas that we want to see improvement in, so I am really happy that he has joined us."
Sporting Director, Ross Wilson, added: "Firstly, a warm welcome to Ceri and we are really pleased that he joins our support staff. During the process to appoint Gio as our new manager, we discussed that we would retain an open position to add another coach into our group.
"We wanted that person to bring a different and wide skillset as we continue to develop our football methodology across the club. Ceri agreed to join some months ago and is now able to start following the conclusion of a notice period with the City Football Group."
