Club career
In the 2011-12 season, Lowe scored 19 goals for Barnet's under-18 team. He made his senior debut on 25 August 2012, in a 3-1 loss against York City at Underhill, coming on as a late substitute for Curtis Weston. After making a second substitute appearance against Gillingham, he was given his first start by manager Mark Robson on 15 September in a 3-0 loss against Bradford City.
Lowe signed a professional contract with the Bees in October 2012.

Manager Martin Allen said: "He is a good lad who has worked hard and done well in both the games he has played but I need to bring in another striker and this will push Jamal further down the line".
In 2014-15, Lowe made two substitute appearances for the Bees before joining Hemel Hempstead Town on a three-month loan. On 16 January 2015, he left Barnet permanently to join St Albans City.
