Jason Lowe, the Blackburn Rovers midfielder, has revealed he is currently focused on helping his club avoid relegation but was also thinking about the upcoming Olympics.
Stuart Pearce contacted Lowe regarding his possible selection for the Olympics in December and since then the Blackburn Rovers player has been optimistic about his chances, especially since he has previously worked with Pearce while playing for the England
under-21 internationals.
Lowe said while speaking to reporters:
“The Olympics is at the back of my mind a little bit. I was included in the first list but it's a long squad and I think it gets narrowed down some time in March and finalised in June.
It would be nice to get the nod in there but I'm not thinking about that at the moment.
I'll take that as it comes and see what happens. It's not what I'm concentrating at this moment in time. Playing well for Blackburn is all I'm bothered about.”
The 20-year-old earned a call up into the England under-19 international squad after he impressed in the Blackburn Rovers youth academy and reserve side. While he was selected for the European under-19 Football Championship set to take place in summer of
2010, he missed out due to injury.
Lowe received the opportunity to make his debut for England under-20 international side in a friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Colombia-c2873.
He was promoted to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Norway-c2974 under-21 international side in the Euro 2013 qualifier fixture which ended in a 1-1 draw. He has made 3 appearances since then but has failed to find the back
of the net.
The youngster has been in equally impressive form for his club, graduating to the senior team in 2010 from the youth academy. He made his debut against Fulham in September of 2011 when he came on as a substitute for Ruben Rochina. Lowe has made a total of
28 appearances in all competitions for Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 and has not scored any goals.
