Who is he?
A versatile midfielder, who can also fill in at right
full-back.
Where’s he come from?
Chesterfield, for whom he made 125 appearances between 2006
and 2012, scoring 11 goals. Newquay-born
Jamie also made 10 appearances on loan at Crewe Alexandra last season, the
eventual League Two play-off winners.
Hmmm. Sounds good.
What’s the catch?
Lowry did his
cruciate in a match against for Chesterfield against Hereford in October
2009. The injury sidelined him for the
best part of 18 months and he’s only made 13 league appearances since his
return in March 2011.
Ah. I see...
It’s not necessarily as bad as it sounds – both Paul Wotton
and Simon Walton recovered from similar injuries and they managed to rack up 90
appearances between them last season.
Plus Lowry is still relatively young (25) for a central midfielder,
despite having played more than 100 Football League matches.
Did Crewe not want
him back?
They were very keen to offer a permanent
deal after Jamie was released by Chesterfield at the end of last season, before
getting cold feet after their medical team had a look at his knee. Let’s hope they were being overly cautious.
Yes, let’s. How’s that going so far?
Well...he twisted an ankle in the pre-season game at Truro
and is out until November. Which could happen to anyone and is in no way connected to his knee. So there.
