Next, the Scottish-born forward went back to Australia before transferring to Brunei FA, earning 50,000 pounds a year. In 2003, the Football Association of Malaysia ratified a policy which stated that foreign players must ply their trade elsewhere for two years before they can return to Malaysia. Despite this, they still allowed Bothwell to play for Brunei at the time without playing abroad for two years. By 2004, Bothwell had left the team.

Retiring in 2004, the former footballer opted to become a coach, getting his AFC B License and AFC Level 1 Goalkeeping license. He last coached Geylang's Under-18 side.
