Jason Lowe

Blackburn Rovers

Lowe joined Blackburn Rovers' Academy as an under-12 and had progressed to the reserve team when he signed his first professional contract on 4 September 2009. On 8 January 2011, he made his senior debut at Ewood Park in the 1–0 win over Queens Park Rangers in the first round of the FA Cup. A week later, he made his first appearance in the Premier League, as a 24th-minute substitute for the injured David Dunn in a 2–0 loss to Chelsea. Lowe was set to join Aberdeen on loan before the deal fell through due to injuries in the Blackburn first-team. On 24 March, he joined Oldham Athletic of League One on loan until the end of the 2010–11 season, to gain experience of competitive first-team football. Lowe made his debut at Boundary Park four days later against Tranmere Rovers, and scored his first goal for the club with a penalty in the 2–0 win against Notts County on 3 April. He was singled out for praise by manager Paul Dickov after the match for volunteering to take the penalty despite being a young player at a new club. On 25 April, he "fired into the top corner late on" to help Oldham secure a 1–1 draw with Walsall on 25 April. He finished his loan spell with two goals from seven appearances. Lowe's next appearance for Blackburn came in the League Cup second-round win against Sheffield Wednesday on 24 August 2011. He made his first league appearance of the season, as a substitute for Rubén Rochina against Fulham on 11 September, and his first league…

Lowe was called into an England U19 training camp after impressing for Blackburn in the academy and reserves and was on stand-by for the U-19 team which travelled to Ukraine for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship Elite Qualifying Round. Lowe was selected for England U-19 for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship finals in July 2010, but eventually missed out due to injury. Lowe made his debut for England U20 in a friendly against France on 9 February 2011. In July 2011, Lowe was included for the England U20 squad at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, joining his teammate Josh Morris. Prior to the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Lowe made his only cap before he captained England U-20 at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia in the summer of 2011, where they were knocked out in the last 16. Lowe was called up by England U21 and appeared as an unused substitute against Iceland U21 on 7 October 2011. Three days later, he made his debut for England U21 in a 2–1 win against Norway U21 in a 2013 Euro Under-21 qualifier. He made his two more appearances for England U21 later in November 2011 against Iceland U21 and Belgium U21. He continued to be recalled by England U21 for the Euro qualifier on several occasions and became a first-team regular in England's U21 squad until June 2013. In May 2013, Lowe was called up again for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Israel. Lowe played two matches, as England U21 were eliminated in the Group stage.

Lowe plays as a defensive midfielder or at right-back. Speaking in February 2017, Blackburn Rovers boss Owen Coyle praised his mentality and work rate, saying "he's a player that you know will give you everything you've got... sets a fantastic example... [and] covers every blade of grass".

Jason John Lowe was born on 2 September 1991 in Wigan, Greater Manchester and raised in nearby Leigh. He attended St. Thomas C.E. Primary School in Leigh.
