In the summer of 2022, Lowe announced he would be moving to part-time football to facilitate a career in teaching, and subsequently played for Rushall Olympic and Hednesford Town.

[1][3][4] He signed his first professional contract of three and a half years in November 2004,[5] however, he was unable to claim a regular first-team place at Molineux and was first loaned out to Burnley at the start of the 2005–06 season.

[4] A two-month loan spell with Cheltenham Town started in September 2006, they appreciated him so much that he was invited back to spend the 2007 end of the season with them.

[17] He subsequently signed for Conference Premier club Kidderminster Harriers[18] and played 52 matches in 2008–09 before being released due to budgetary concerns.

[22] Lowe joined Cheltenham Town permanently in June 2010,[23] becoming the club's first choice right-back before his season was prematurely ended by an ankle injury in the home defeat to Gillingham on 27 March 2011.

[26] On 27 October 2012, he scored two goals in a 3–0 win over Exeter City at Whaddon Road to earn himself a place on the League Two team of the week.

[27] On 21 November 2013, Lowe joined Cheltenham's League Two rivals York City on loan until January 2014, with a view to a permanent transfer.

[41] He decided to remain with Kidderminster in part due to his reverence for manager John Eustace, signing a new contract in June 2016,[42] and was named as club captain in August.

[43] Lowe scored five goals in 51 appearances in 2016–17,[39] helping Kidderminster to a second-place finish before they suffered defeat in the play-off semi-final to sixth-place Chorley.

[48] Manager John Askey left the club after this success, but his replacement, Mark Yates, had coached Lowe at Cheltenham and Kidderminster, and offered him a new one-year contract.

[51] Lowe went on to become one of six players – the others being Shamir Mullings, Elliott Durrell, Rhys Taylor, Jamie Grimes and Ryan Lloyd – to issue the club with a winding-up petition over unpaid wages.

[55] He served the club as captain and saw an upturn in form under new manager Mark Bower, before he rejoined Kidderminster Harriers for a third spell on 4 January 2020.

[63] He played seventeen games for Hednesford in the first half of the 2022–23 season, before leaving the club in February 2023 after proving unable to recovery from an injury picked up towards the end of 2022.
