Ah, young Alex Lowry. Who could forget him? Born on the 23rd of June in the year of our lord 2003, which - let me save you reaching for a calculator - leaves him proudly donning the tender age of 21. This fine lad hails from our very own Scotland and spends his days darting about a football pitch as a central attacking midfielder; that's when he's not warming benches, of course.
Our Alex here measures in at a touch under 6 feet, sporting a healthy height of 5ft 10in, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say 1.8m for our metrically-minded compatriots. He's not a hefty lad either, weighing in at 72kg (or 11st 4lb for those of us who refuse to succumb to the delights of the metric system.) He can easily be categorised as a 'slim jim' if you're asking me.
Little Lowry trotted off to join the Rangers as a trainee in the grand old month of July 2020. A canny move for the lad - a derby that shall go unmentioned was not a concern pre-2013. In his much anticipated maiden season (2021 - 2022) with the Rangers, his grand tally of four appearances and a single goal had us all overwhelmingly awestruck. The following season (2022-2023), upped his game by appearing, wait for it, a grand total of five times! Sadly, the current season (2024-2025) paints a rather grim picture, with not a single first team appearance to his name.
Ever the adventurer, our protagonist sought new challenges and moved abode to Hearts in August 2023 - a loan move, mind you, not a permanent change of heart. With 12 first team appearances throughout his period at Heart, it would appear the grass was somewhat greener in Edinburgh - at least, for a brief moment in time.
In the age-old tradition of footballing pilgrims everywhere, Lowry soon found his way meandering back to the Rangers by January 2024, having concluded his loan spell at Hearts. The prodigal son’s return to his original stomping ground hasn't quite lived up to expectations, however, with no first team appearances in the ongoing season of 2024-2025. Such is the unforgiving nature of soccer, I suppose.
