KINGSTON, Jamaica— Reggae Boyz defender Damion Lowe has signed with Saudi Arabia’s Al Akhdoud on a two-year deal.

Leep Marketing, the agency which manages Lowe, made the announcement on Saturday.

Lowe, who is also the vice-captain of the Jamaica national team, makes the move from Major League Soccer (MLS) club Philadelphia Union.

Prior to the Union, he had stints at Inter Miami, Seattle Sounders and Minnesota United in the MLS, and at All Ittihad in Egypt.

Lowe says that he is looking forward to this next step in his career.

“Playing in the Saudi Pro League is a thrilling new chapter in my career. I’m eager to bring my best to the pitch, embrace the culture, and make an impact both on and off the field. The recent passion for football there is incredible, and I can’t wait to be a part of it,” the 31-year-old said.

Lowe joins a wave of top-tier talent that has recently gravitated towards Saudi Arabia, following in the footsteps of global stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane. Among his compatriots, Reggae Boyz Demarai Gray and Andre Gray also made similar moves last summer.

Al-Akhdoud is a Saudi Arabian football club based in Najran, located in the southern region of the country.
