David Low (footballer)

David Low (born 23 November 1983 in Singapore) is a Singaporean former footballer. He is mostly known for his peripatetic career which has taken him to 11 different countries, including Singapore and sees retired American footballer Jay DeMerit as an inspiration.

Early life
Living in South Africa for 7 years, Low was called up to the Singaporean National Service aged 17.

New Zealand
For some of the 2013–14 New Zealand Football Championship, Low was part of Otago United's defense.

Mongolia
Traveling to Mongolia in 2012 to play for Khoromkhon of the local Premier League, the Singaporean midfielder lived in an apartment with the other foreign imports, helping them clinch that year's Borgio Cup, beating Ulaanbaatar City Bank 7–0 in the final. The club went on to a second-place finish in the league.

Cameroon
In 2015, Low joined Canon Yaoundé of the Cameroonian Elite One league.

In 2016, Low joined Cosmos de Bafia of the same league. He was on the bench for Cosmos in a league encounter against Botafogo, leading people to question his Asian origin, with many thinking he was Chinese. Low left the club in mid 2016 and returned to Singapore.

In 2018, Coton Sport FC de Garoua offered Low a contract but was declined by Low due to concerns about accommodation and safety as the club is located north of Cameroon and near the Nigerian border where the Boko Haram operates in.

Netherlands

In 2018, Low signed with Dutch side NEC Nijmegen, playing in Eerste Divisie, the second-highest tier of football in Netherlands, as a non contract player.

Personal life
Low returned to Singapore in 2016 and worked briefly as a security systems administrator in a bank.
