And his remarkable rise from non-league football has taken another huge step – as he’s now gone viral.
Lowe fired a double in Swansea's 2-1 victory over promotion rivals Watford on Saturday.
But it was the celebration for his first effort that has grabbed plenty of attention from football fans up and down the country on social media.

After finding the back of the net with a fine, curling right-footed shot on 43 minutes, Lowe – who scored 30 goals in 119 appearances for Pompey before leaving for Wigan in July 2019 – ran up to the camera and pointed towards it.
He then notched Swansea's winner in the 67th minute with a close-range header to ensure they stayed second in the table.
Speaking after the win, Lowe predicted Foster would cut the footage out of his video.

'A lot of the boys are fans of it, watch it, and say it's a good laugh.
'I said “If I score today I'm going to try to make it on his next video”. That was the story (behind the celebration) but he'll probably crop it out to be fair. Hopefully, I make it.'
To his credit, Foster's been a good sport and Lowe has made the final cut of the latest Youtube upload.
