Career

Lowe played for Ripley Town and Sheffield Wednesday before he joined Chesterfield. He made his debut for the club playing at number seven on 4 September 1920, in a 0–0 draw with Grimsby Town Reserves. [3] He scored his first goal nine days later in a 1–1 draw with Leeds United Reserves. [3] He scored five goals in 33 Midland Football League games in the 1920–21 season. He also played in the Chesterfield Hospital Charity Cup final victory over Staveley Town. [3] He then moved into the First Division with Bolton Wanderers, before joining Port Vale in May 1923. [1] He scored twice in 32 appearances in the 1923–24 campaign. [1] He became an ever-present during the 1924–25 (45 games) and 1925–26 (43 games) seasons, making 128 consecutive appearances between April 1924 and March 1927, as Vale posted two consecutive eighth-place finishes in the Second Division. [1] His run came to the end as he sprained an ankle, though he did score eight goals in 45 games as the "Valiants" finished eighth for a third consecutive time in 1926–27. [1] He lost his first-team place in September 1927 and featured just nine times in the 1927–28 season, before he was handed a free transfer in May 1928. [1] He went on to play for Oldham Athletic and Rotherham United – he made just the one appearance for the "Millers", in a 2–1 Third Division North win over Rochdale at Spotland on 21 September 1929 [4] – before returning to his hometown club Ripley, where he ultimately became a committee member.
