Togwell started in the Crystal Palace youth set-up at the age of ten,[4] before making his senior debut as a seventeen-year-old substitute on 22 December 2002 at Millmoor.

Togwell, by now captain of the reserve team, played in the opening three rounds of the League Cup in 2005–06, including a 2–1 defeat of European Champions Liverpool in which he marked Steven Gerrard.

[11] He impressed at Vale Park, especially on 6 January when he scored both goals of a FA Cup Third round defeat of Doncaster Rovers.

Battling with Bobby Hassell and new signing Anderson Silva de França for a first-team place, he found life tough at Oakwell the next season.

In all, he played 27 games, three of which came in the club's impressive FA Cup run, including a substitute appearance in the memorable victory over Premier League team Chelsea.

He remained a key member of Scunthorpe's first team in the Championship; making 47 appearances in 2009–10, he managed to bag a goal against his former employers at Selhurst Park in the process.

[24] Signing a new two-year deal in June 2010,[25] Togwell recovered from a knee injury to make 40 appearances in the 2010–11 campaign.

[26] He was given the club's Player of the Year award, the Ernie Storey Memorial Trophy, however, he could not prevent the "Iron" from finishing in last place and thereby suffer relegation back into League One.

On 14 March 2014, Togwell joined fellow League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on a one-month loan deal.

[32] He played a total of ten games for Chesterfield as the "Spireites" won promotion as divisional champions in 2013–14, and was released by manager Paul Cook in the summer.

[39] However, he endured a difficult 2017–18 campaign, which started badly as he was ruled out for the first half of the season after picking up a thigh injury in August.

[40] By the time he recovered to full fitness manager Richard Hill had been replaced by Andy Hessenthaler, who opted to release Togwell at the end of the campaign.

[44] He scored three goals in 44 matches in the 2018–19 season, helping the "Rebels" to reach the Second Round of the FA Cup, where they were beaten by Gillingham.

[50] Togwell came out of retirement to play for Southern League Premier Division South club Beaconsfield Town in the 2022–23 season.
