The 29-year-old leaves the Union after six seasons in the MLS, where he made over 100 appearances and was part of the 2020 Supporters' Shield-winning side.

Lowe joins an Al-Akhdoud team looking to strengthen its defense after conceding 50 goals in the previous league campaign.

Lowe signs a two-year contract with Al-Akhdoud.

The move is effective immediately.

Lowe's Impact

Lowe brings experience and leadership to the Al-Akhdoud backline.

His composure and ability to read the game should shore up the team's defense.

Lowe also poses a threat from set-pieces due to his aerial prowess.

Union's Perspective

The Union have thanked Lowe for his contributions and wished him well in his new adventure.

The move frees up space in the Union's wage bill and opens up opportunities for younger players.

Al-Akhdoud's Ambition

Al-Akhdoud are eager to make an impact in the Saudi Pro League this season.

Lowe's signing signals their intent to compete for a top-half finish and potentially qualify for the AFC Champions League.

The Saudi club gets a seasoned defender to bolster their backline, while Lowe has the chance to experience a new league and culture.
