Thomas Richard Lowery (born 31 December 1997) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One side Crewe Alexandra.

Career[]

A graduate of the Crewe Alexandra Academy, Lowery signed his first professional contract with the club in May 2016.[3] He made his Crewe debut on 4 October 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in a Football League Trophy tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers U23s at Gresty Road.[4] He made his league debut four days later, coming on at half-time against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on 8 October 2016,[5] and a week later was in Crewe's starting line-up at Notts County.

In January 2018, Lowery signed a new three-and-a-half year contract at Crewe.[6] He scored his first goal for Crewe in a 2–0 defeat of Yeovil Town at Gresty Road on 19 April 2019,[7] in his 50th League appearance.

In January 2020, after 36 Crewe appearances during the season, Lowery suffered a pelvic injury which ruled him out of several games.[8] In October 2020, Lowery signed a new two-year contract.[9]

He played no part in Crewe's July 2021 pre-season games after negotiations over a new contract stalled.[10] As the contract impasse continued into August,[11] Lowery only played an under-23s game on 16 August 2021 due to a shortage of players caused by a sickness bug; he did not otherwise feature for Crewe during the first weeks of the season.[12] He eventually made his season debut on 31 August in a 1–0 victory at Shrewsbury Town in an EFL Trophy group tie,[13] as manager David Artell looked to conclude further talks with Lowery and his agent,[14] but the talks stalled again in early September.[15] He eventually resumed league appearances, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring Crewe's goal in a 2–1 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers on 23 October 2021.[16]

International career[]

In May 2021, he was called up to train with the Wales national squad ahead of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[17][18]
