Mon 11th Oct 1999 - Josh Low joins City on loan

20 year old midfield / forward Josh Low has arrived at Ninian Park today for a one month loan period. Low has arrived from Leyton Orient where he has been involved in 6 games so far this season, scoring one goal. Low joined the O's in the summer from Bristol Rovers. Early reports from Orient suggest he is an exciting prospect.

I have not seen or heard of Low before so I have to rely on Franks judgement that he may be able to do a job for us. After hearing from the club that Taihuttu was not better than any player on the books at the moment I would assume that this lad is a sharp player who is better than some of the squad we currently have. Lets hope Frankie has found a gem. There is no news as to whether Josh could be a permanent signing, I guess his performances during his loan period will answer that question.

He played for Bristol Rovers last season. In his career with the Pirates he played for them 16 times + 15 subs appearances with no goals. This season 3 + 3 subs for Orient with one goal.

Low joined Rovers from the juniors in Aug 95. He had a brief loan spell at Farnborough between Nov and Dec 98. He joined Orient on 27th of May this year and scored from them in a 2 - 1 over Hartlepool on Sep 25th. There are conflicting reports on his nationality. I think though he is classed as Welsh.

I understand that Low is cleared to play for City in the FAW match at Newtown tomorrow night.

This is a loan deal not a trial. The player is treated now as one of our own.
