[edit] Club career

A big, versatile free-kick specialist who can play anywhere on the pitch and is known for his strong right foot, Lowe started his career at Jamaican giants Harbour View before moving abroad to Montreal Impact. He returned to Jamaica after two seasons but moved back to the A-League in 1999 with Richmond Kickers and then Rochester Raging Rhinos before moving to Europe in 2001, three years after his World Cup appearances. After spending three years in England, he returned to Jamaica in 2004 after Coventry City ended his contract due to the alleged cocaine possession. He started the 2006 season with Miami F.C. in the USA,^[3] only to be released after a month because of disciplinary problems.^[4]After two years at Portmore he rejoined Arnett in the January 2008 transfer window.

[edit] International career

Lowe made his debut for the Reggae Boyz in 1995 and he played two matches at the 1998 World Cup. He formed a prolific strike partnership with Walter Boyd in Jamaica's "Road To France Campaign" in 1998, but has been in and out of the team since then for mainly disciplinary reasons. He earned over 60 caps for his country. His last international was a March 2004 friendly match against Honduras in which he also scored a goal.
