Nathan Peter Lowndes (born 2 June 1977) is an English footballer who plays as a forward.
He began his career with Leeds United, but failed to break into the first before his move to Watford in 1995. After making little impact at Watford, he moved to Scotland to play for St Johnstone in 1998. Three years later he transferred to Livingston. In 2002, he was loaned out to Rotherham United, before he moved back to England permanently with Plymouth Argyle later in the year. In 2004, he joined Port Vale, where he would stay for three years. He finished his professional career with Chester City at the end of the 2007–08 campaign, though came out of retirement to join Scone Thistle in May 2012.
Lowndes began his career with Leeds United in 1994, but did not make any first-team appearances in his time at Elland Road. In 1995, he was signed by Watford for a fee of £40,000. In three years with Watford, despite being seen as a promising player, he only made three starts and was unable to score a goal. He played only a cameo role in the club's 1997–98 Second Division winning season.
In 1998, he joined Scottish club St Johnstone, who were in their second season back in the Premier League. In his first season in Perth, he helped "Saints" to a third-place finish (which qualified them for the following season's UEFA Cup), an appearance in the League Cup final, and the last four of the Scottish Cup. In the final of the League Cup at Celtic Park he was a late substitute for George O'Boyle, as Rangers celebrated a 2–1 win. He was the club's top scorer in 1999–2000 with eleven goals, which included a goal in the preliminary rounds of the UEFA Cup that helped the club reach a first round tie with AS Monaco. After the first leg the striker told of how opponent Marco Simone came into the away dressing room and asked Lowndes for a signed shirt. Despite the striker's individual fortunes the club could not replicate the success of the previous campaign. He made just twelve appearances in the 2000–01 season, as the club flirted with relegation. In his three years at McDiarmid Park Lowndes made 63 appearances and scored fourteen goals. In May 2001, Lowndes signed for Livingston, for whom he made 21 appearances and scored three goals. Livingston enjoyed a highly successful season, finishing the league campaign in third place.
