Shane Thomas Lowry (born 12 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or a left-back for Johor Darul Ta'zim.

[3] On 17 September 2009, Lowry signed a three-month loan deal with Football League Championship side Plymouth Argyle.

[6] He played 13 league games for Plymouth during his loan spell, where he impressed many and was recalled by Villa who required Lowry's services as cover after some injuries to defenders.

[7] On 28 January 2010, Lowry agreed a deal which would take him on a loan to Leeds United until 13 March 2010, joining his fellow Australian international teammates Patrick Kisnorbo and Neil Kilkenny.

After missing the FA Cup replay against Tottenham Hotspur due to not being eligible, Lowry returned to the Leeds starting lineup in the following game against Hartlepool United.

[13] After Lowry's loan spell at Leeds was coming to an end, on 11 May he signed a new two-year contract extension at Aston Villa.

[23] Lowry then made his first appearance for the club since joining Millwall permanently, playing 90 minutes, in a 2–1 loss against rivals' West Ham United on 4 February 2012.

In the 2012–13 season, Lowry regained his first team place, playing in the left-back and central defense positions until he missed one game after picking up a yellow card for the fifth time against Bristol City on 2 October 2012.

[30] Lowry then "curled a superb, dipping free-kick" to score from 35 yards (32 m) as Millwall beat Charlton Athletic 2–0 at The Valley on 16 March 2013.

[34] Despite this, Lowry remained in the first team under the new management of Steve Lomas until he received a straight red card after a foul on Will Hughes, in a 5–1 loss against Derby County on 14 September 2013.

[37] After this, Lowry was out of the first team, demoted to the substitute bench between mid-November and mid-December until he made his return on 26 December 2013, in a 4–0 loss against Watford.

[39] After serving a four match ban,[40] Lowry was in the first team throughout February and March until he suffered a foot injury that kept him out for the remainder of the season.

[46] Since his debut, Lowry established himself in the left-back position in the first half of the season despite being sidelined with suspension[47] and fitness concern that saw him out for two matches.

He eventually made his debut in the starting eleven for the home fixture against Cardiff City on 18 December, standing in for the injured Grounds at left back.

I've spent 11 years in England and it's shaped my football over there and I'm really happy to be here and get stuck into the games"[59] Lowry made his debut for the Glory on 30 January 2016, starting against Melbourne Victory.

[63] On 8 August 2019, Lowry signed for Doha-based club Al Ahli in the Qatar Stars League for an undisclosed fee.

[66] Lowry received his first call-up to the full Australia squad for a friendly match against the Netherlands in Sydney and the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Oman in Melbourne in October.

[75] Lowry's younger brother, Ryan, is currently contracted to Olympic Kingsway SC which play in the National Premier Leagues Western Australia.
