Hana Ann Lowry (born 23 April 2003) is an Australian soccer player who plays for Sydney FC in the A-League Women.[2]

Early life

Lowry grew up in Western Australia and was spotted as a talented junior. She was one of 5 Western Australian players in the Australian squad for the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship.[3] She scored twice against Thailand, and another in the 3rd place playoff against China for a total of 3 for the tournament.[4]

Club career

Lowry was selected in the Perth Glory squad for the 2019–20 W-League. She played several games off the bench, and was selected to start against Newcastle Jets. In this starting appearance Lowry scored her first W-League goal in a 4–2 victory.[5][6]

At the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Lowry was named "Most Glorious Player" by Perth Glory at their annual end-of-season awards ceremony.[7]

On 8 August 2024, the club announced Lowry's departure.[8] Sydney FC announced her signing later that day.[9]

International career

In November 2024, Lowry received her first senior call up to the Australian national team.[10] Unfortunately, two days before the friendly against Brazil, her club confirmed that she had suffered a anterior cruciate ligament injury and would be out for the season.[11]
