Brackley Town midfielder Matt Lowe has signed a one-year contract extension with the relegated National League club.

Lowe, 30, started all but one of Brackley's league matches in 2025-26, scoring one of his five goals in all competitions in their FA Cup first round victory at League Two promotion winners Notts County.

"He's a fantastic lad and has been a great servant to the football club," manager Andy Whing told Town's website.

"He possesses all the qualities we need in various positions for us to be successful."

Lowe has made almost 400 appearances and scored 68 goals for The Saints, initially joining on loan from his first club, Cambridge United, in 2016 before making the move permanent later that year.

The former England C international signed for Accrington Stanley in 2022 and returned to Brackley in 2024, scoring 13 times as they won the 2024-25 National League North.

"For a club that's given me so much, I couldn't let my journey end with relegation," he said. "We all have to do better and I'm determined to help put things right."
