In 2019, Towers became a player and head coach with the UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs[4][5] in the Sydney AFL competition.

Personal life

Towers was born in Perth and spent his early years there before his family returned to Victoria. He grew up on a beef farm in Kawarren and attended Sacred Heart School and Elliminyt Primary School prior to spending his secondary schooling years at Colac Secondary College. He was a 3rd year undergraduate student in Physical Education (Teaching) at the University of Ballarat at the time he was drafted. He has two siblings, a brother Ryan and a sister Breanna. Towers' family were originally fans of Geelong Football Club but changed to following the Sydney Football Club when the Swans drafted Towers. Dean's brother Ryan quotes that "Yeah I'd say that we're converts now but I've still got a soft spot for Geelong."

In 2019, Towers was studying for a degree in Exercise Physiology at UNSW,[4][6] with Towers completing his studies in 2022.[7] He lives with his wife Jessica.[8]
