Jason William Robert Crowe (born 30 September 1978 in Sidcup, Greater London) is an English footballer. He is currently contracted to Leeds United, after signing on a free transfer from Northampton Town on 16th June 2009.

Career

Arsenal

Crowe started his career as a trainee at Arsenal, although he was unable to break into the first team with veteran right back Lee Dixon usually occupying the slot. He made his debut as substitute in a League Cup tie against Birmingham City on October 14 1997 but was sent off after just 33 seconds by referee Uriah Rennie for a foul on Martin O'Connor; it was the fastest debut sending-off in English football history.[1] He played a further two matches for Arsenal (one in the League Cup, another in the FA Cup); after a loan spell at Crystal Palace he moved to Portsmouth in July 1999.

Portsmouth

After joining Portsmouth for a fee of £1,000,000, Crowe played 29 games during his first season at the club before being transfer-listed by Tony Pulis at the start of the 2000-01 season. Crowe joined Brentford on loan [2] [3], and played 9 League games for the Bees before returning to Portsmouth where he made a further 24 appearances for Pompey. During his third season with Portsmouth, Crowe made 23 appearances and scored his first goal for the club during a 2-2 draw with Wolves at Molineux [4]. In his final season at Portsmouth, Crowe played in 17 games and scored 4 goals for the club. After winning promotion to the Premier League, Crowe was one of five players to be released by Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp [5].

Grimsby Town

After his release by Portsmouth, Crowe joined relegated team Grimsby Town on a two-year contract [6]. Grimsby were relegated again during the 2003-04 season, Crowe's first at the club where he made 36 appearances. During his second season with Grimsby, Crowe played in 40 games and scored 4 goals. With his contract exprining in the summer of 2004, Crowe was offered a new deal by Grimsby but also wanted to listen to other contract offers [7] [8]. Crowe eventually agreed a contract at Northampton Town.

Northampton Town

Crowe initially signed a two-year contract with the Cobblers [9] and won promotion during his first season at the club in which he made 46 appearances and scored 2 goals. Crowe signed a two-year extension to his contract during June 2007 [10] [11] [12]. Crowe was offered another new contract with Northampton [13] after the club were relegated to League Two on the final day of the 2008-09 season after a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United [14].

Leeds United

It was announced on the sixteenth of July, 2009 that Jason would be leaving Northampton and joining Leeds United on a free transfer on July 1st, 2009.
