'Technically gifted' Lowry joins Motherwell on loan

[Getty Images] Motherwell have signed midfielder Alex Lowry on a season-long loan from Wycombe Wanderers. The 23-year-old former Rangers player scored three goals in 24 appearances for the English League One club last season but last featured on Boxing Day 2025. "We see this as a great opportunity for Alex and the club," Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson told club media. "He is a technically gifted footballer who enjoys being on the ball and being creative. "His knowledge of Scottish football and experience here could prove vital over the next 12 months. "The staff behind the scenes have been meticulous in their scouting of Alex, and I have no doubt he will slot into our team well." Lowry, who is ineligible to play in Thursday's Conference League qualifying second leg tie away to Havnar Boltfelag, made his Rangers debut in January 2022. He went on to feature in 12 games for the Ibrox club, including a Champions League outing from the bench against Ajax. A loan to Hearts in the 2023-24 season was cut short after 12 starts and he joined Wycombe in January of 2025. "It's great to be back up the road," said Lowry. "Being a Scottish football fan, everyone knows Motherwell were an outstanding team last year. But having spoken to the manager, it's already clear he has his own ideas for what he wants the team to look like, and I think even in these early stages, the identity is clear. "I feel I can add to the already strong squad assembled here and I'm looking forward to kicking on this season."
