Jason William Robert Crowe (born 30 September 1978) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right-back, and midfielder from 1996 to 2013.
Crowe started his career as a trainee at Arsenal, although he was unable to break into the first team, with veteran right back Lee Dixon usually occupying the slot.
He made his debut as substitute in a League Cup tie against Birmingham City on 14 October 1997 but was sent off after just 33 seconds by referee Uriah Rennie for a foul on Martin O'Connor.
Two of these goals came in a memorable game against former club Crystal Palace; Crowe came on as a substitute at half time with his side trailing 2–0, but he scored twice to help them win 3–2.
[10] The Mariners had suffered relegation from the First Division in the previous season, whilst Crowe, was a part of the Portsmouth squad who had earned promotion from the same league.
Signed by Paul Groves, Crowe was one of the first of the new arrivals at Blundell Park during the 2003–04 season campaign, he was often deployed on the right side of defence and midfield, competing with John McDermott and Marcel Cas.
Crowe initially signed a two-year contract with the Cobblers[13] and won promotion during his first season at the club in which he made 46 appearances and scored 2 goals.
Crowe was offered another new contract with Northampton[17] after the club were relegated to League Two on the final day of the 2008–09 season following a 3–0 defeat to Leeds United.
After Leigh Bromby picked up a suspension for 5 yellow cards, Crowe returned to the Leeds starting line-up for the FA Cup game against Manchester United.
Crowe also provided a vital goal-line clearance after Wayne Rooney's shot was saved by Casper Ankergren but was heading into the back of the net.
On 12 November 2011, Crowe re-signed for the Cobblers and made his second debut, against Luton Town in the FA Cup 1st round on the same day.
[24] Crowe moved to Conference North side Corby Town in July 2012 alongside fellow former Northampton players Andy Holt and Leon McKenzie.
