Up for grabs: Huge Portsmouth favourite and ex-Swansea and QPR man handed Premier League exit

A former Pompey favourite has departed the Premier League following his release from Bournemouth.

Jamal Lowe is now a free agent after the Cherries opted against renewing his contract - as long expected.

The attacker last featured for Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve 2022 and since been loaned out to QPR and Swansea in the Championship.

Now, upon the expiry of the deal he signed in August 2021 following a switch from Swansea for a reported £1.5m, he has bid farewell to Dean Court and is seeking a new challenge.

Inevitably, that will see him linked with Pompey, where he made 119 appearances and scored 29 times during a hugely successful two-and-a-half years on the south coast.

Lowe is among five members of the first-team squad to leave Bournemouth, alongside Lloyd Kelly, Emiliano Marcondes, Darren Randolph and Ryan Fredericks.

In addition, Harry Redknapp’s grandson, also called Harry, is among four second-year scholars to be released after graduating.

Lowe scored nine goals in 35 appearances during a Swansea loan stay last season, representing his second spell with the club.

He left Pompey for Wigan in August 2019 for a fee around £2.5m and later represented Swansea (twice), Bournemouth and QPR, while has established himself as a Jamaica international.
