Alistair Malcolm George Slowe (born 16 October 1988) is an English footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Anagennisi Deryneia in the Cypriot Second Division.
Club career
Slowe started his career as a youth player at Brighton & Hove Albion, however he left to focus on school work and exams. At the age of 17, he headed to Ghana to pursue his footballing career after not attaining the grades he wanted. He helped found the Cantonments Soccer Academy in 2006, and spent two seasons with the first team.[1]
In 2008, he was offered a contract with Cypriot side Onisilos Sotira, having impressed two Newcastle United scouts who happened to be in Ghana at the time. He spent two seasons with Sotira, before being offered trials with English sides AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham. As he was still under contract in Cyprus, he was not allowed to accept these trial offers. He was also offered a trial with Newcastle, but due to the Icelandic volcanic eruption of 2010, he had to travel for 4 days to reach England. He was injured in his first training session, and ultimately was not selected for the team.[2]
Slowe joined Northampton Town in 2010,[3] but despite making the bench a number of times, he never made a first team appearance and was released the next year.[4] He then joined Yeovil Town,[5] but again failed to make a first team appearance in his one season there.
He then returned to Cyprus with Achyronas Liopetriou, before signing with Ayia Napa,[6] where he made three appearances. He joined Anagennisi Deryneia in 2016.
