Kenny Lowe (born 6 November 1961) is an English former professional footballer who played for ten clubs in English league and non-league football as well as a stint in Australia. He also later managed Gateshead and Barrow before he returned to Australia to work in football in Perth.

Playing career

Lowe played for ten clubs during his career, which started on a part-time basis in 1981 with Hartlepool United, while he served an apprenticeship as a pipe-fitter and welder with ICI.[1] He moved to Australia during the 1980s to play for Spearwood in the Western Australia Premier League before returning to England.[2] He was twice signed by manager Barry Fry, first for £40,000 for Barnet in 1991 and secondly at Birmingham City for £75,000, when at the age of 31 he turned professional.[1] He finally ended his career at the age of 39. He also won two caps with the England semi-professional team.[1]

Managerial career

Lowe started his managerial career with Gateshead as joint manager with Matty Pearson.[3] He returned to Barrow in 1999 when the club had just four players.[1] He stayed at Barrow for four seasons during which time they remained in administration.[4]

He left Barrow to move to Australia where he is an assistant manager at Perth Glory.[2] He also coaches at the Football West national training centre, taking charge of the team in inter-state matches.

Following the sacking of Alistair Edwards as Perth Glory's head coach, Lowe was appointed as the caretaker coach.[5]
