Derby County sent left-back Max Lowe to Aberdeen in August and he is impressing at Pittodrie.
Left-back has been something of a problem position for Derby County in recent times.
Craig Forsyth has enjoyed a decent start to life under Frank Lampard, but there are still plenty of Rams fans who feel the club could do better than their long-serving Scot.
So Derby supporters will be pleased to discover that Max Lowe is enjoying a fine start to life at Aberdeen. The 21-year-old moved to Scotland on a loan deal until January and scored his first goal for the Dons in the 4-1 thrashing of St Mirren on Saturday, bombing forward from defence to fire home in the first half.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has certainly been impressed.
“There are loads of positives for me,” he said in quotes reported by the Derby Telegraph.
“For Sam Cosgrove to get his two goals, young Connor McLennan – fantastic goal – Lewis Ferguson back on the pitch, and the form of young Max Lowe. In spells we were very good today. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
And it seems that the Aberdeen fans share McInnes’s enthusiasm.
Lowe, who spent last season reaching the League One play-off final with Shrewsbury Town, continues to impress away from Pride Park and it seems only a matter of time before he’s given his chance again at Derby.
Lampard has shown a willingness to give youth a chance with Mason Bennett, Harry Wilson, Mason Mount and Jayden Bogle all impressing. So don’t be surprised if Lowe is starting regularly for Derby in 2019.
