Adam Lowthorpe (born 7 August 1975) is an English former professional footballer who played for Hull City, Gainsborough Trinity, and North Ferriby United.[2][3] He briefly represented England internationally at futsal in the early 2000s.[3][4] Lowthorpe is currently the chief executive of the East Riding County Football Association.
Career
[edit]Lowthorpe was born in Kingston upon Hull, and came through the youth ranks of his hometown club, Hull City. After becoming captain of the youth team,[4] he signed his first professional contract in July 1993.[2] Lowthorpe made his debut three months later, on 2 October 1993, in a 3–1 home win over Bradford City.[3][5][6] On 12 April 1997, he scored his first goal in a 2–2 draw away to Humber derby rivals Scunthorpe United.[3][7][8]
Lowthorpe's only goal at home came on 18 April 1998, in a 3–2 win over Leyton Orient at Boothferry Park.[3][9][10] Reflecting in 2014, he said: "I scored at the South Stand end, which was the big terrace where I used to stand as a lad, and that remains a really vivid memory for me".[4] Lowthorpe's contract with the Tigers eventually expired following the conclusion of the 1997–98 season.[3] After a year with non-league Gainsborough Trinity, he spent the remainder of his career at North Ferriby United.[2][3][4]
After football
[edit]Lowthorpe studied Leisure Management at York St John University towards the end of his playing days, eventually graduating before retiring from football in 2004.[3][4][11] During his final years in the game, he also began coaching in Hull's youth setup and their centre of excellence.[3][4] Following university, Lowthorpe spent a short period at Hull City Council working on cases in a deprived area of the city.[4] In October 2009, he began work as the CEO of the East Riding County Football Association, a position he currently holds.[4][11][12]
Personal life
[edit]Lowthorpe has been a Hull City supporter since childhood.[4] He has two sons.[11]
