Jamal Akua Lowe (born 21 July 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club AFC Bournemouth and the Jamaican national team. Lowe was born in England and played for the England C team, before making his full international debut for Jamaica in 2021.

Lowe began his professional playing career with Barnet in 2012. After several loan spells, he briefly played for St Albans City and Hemel Hempstead Town. Lowe joined Hampton & Richmond Borough in 2015 before moving to Portsmouth two years later, spending two seasons with the club. He was signed by Wigan Athletic in 2019 and joined Swansea City in 2020.

Club career[]

Barnet[]

Lowe first featured for the Bees' senior team in February 2011 in the Herts Senior Cup against Hadley.[2] In the 2011–12 season, Lowe scored 19 goals for Barnet's under-18 team.[3] He made his league debut on 25 August 2012, in a 3–1 loss against York City at Underhill, coming on as a late substitute for Curtis Weston.[4] After making a second substitute appearance against Gillingham,[5] he was given his first start by manager Mark Robson on 15 September in a 3–0 loss against Bradford City.[6]

Lowe signed a professional contract with the Bees in October 2012.[7] He made his FA Cup debut on 3 November, coming on as a substitute in the second half of a 2–0 defeat against Oxford United in the first round.[8] In December 2012, he was loaned out to Hayes & Yeading United. He joined Boreham Wood on 15 February 2013.[9]

On 15 August 2013, Lowe joined Hitchin Town on loan.[10] His fourth loan spell away from the club began when he joined St Albans City on 22 November.[11] Then, his fifth loan spell came when he joined Farnborough on 28 February 2014.[12] Lowe was transfer-listed at the end of the 2013–14 season. Manager Martin Allen said: "He is a good lad who has worked hard and done well in both the games he has played but I need to bring in another striker and this will push Jamal further down the line".[13]

In 2014–15, Lowe made two substitute appearances for the Bees before joining Hemel Hempstead Town on a three-month loan.[14] On 16 January 2015, he left Barnet permanently to join St Albans City.[15] At the end of the season he rejoined Hemel Hempstead Town.[16] After 11 league games he then joined Hampton & Richmond Borough.

Portsmouth[]

On 28 October 2016, Portsmouth agreed terms to sign Lowe for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract.[17]

In January 2018 Lowe signed a new contract keeping him at Fratton Park until 2021.[18]

Wigan Athletic[]

On 1 August 2019, Lowe signed a three-year contract with Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee.[19] He scored his first goal for the club on 20 October 2019 against Nottingham Forest.[20]

Swansea City[]

On 27 August 2020, Lowe joined Championship club Swansea City for £800,000, signing a three-year contract with an option of a further year.[21][22] He scored his first goal for Swansea in a 2–0 win over Wycombe Wanderers on 26 September 2020.[23]

AFC Bournemouth[]

On 31 August 2021, Lowe signed a three-year contract with Swansea's Championship rivals AFC Bournemouth, joining for a reported fee of £1.5 million.[24][25]

International career[]

Despite being born in England and having previously played for the England C team, in March 2021 Lowe received his first call-up to the Jamaica national team.[26] This came about as part of the Jamaican Football Federation's attempt to target a number of English-born players for call ups in an attempt to improve the chances of Jamaica qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.[27] On 25 March 2021, Lowe scored his first goal on his debut in a 4-1 loss to United States.[28]

Personal life[]

Born in England, Lowe is of Jamaican descent.[29] Lowe worked as a PE teacher while playing in non-league football.[30][31] He is friends with Nicke Kabamba and Junior Morias.[32]
