David Low (born 23 November 1983 in Singapore) is a Singaporean former footballer. He is mostly known for his peripatetic career which has taken him to 11 countries, including Singapore and sees retired American footballer Jay DeMerit as an inspiration.
Living in South Africa for 7 years, Low was called up to the Singaporean National Service aged 17. He is the second out of four brothers after his elder twin brother, Josh.
During the 2013âÂÂ14 New Zealand Football Championship, Low featured as part of Otago United's defence.
In 2012, Low moved to Mongolia to join Khoromkhon in the Mongolian Premier League. Living with other foreign players, he helped the club secure the Borgio Cup after a 7âÂÂ0 win over Ulaanbaatar City Bank in the final. Khoromkhon later finished second in the league that season.
Low joined Canon Yaoundé in 2015, competing in CameroonâÂÂs Elite One league.
The following year, he moved to Cosmos de Bafia. He appeared on the bench in a league match against Botafogo, attracting curiosity about his Asian background, with many mistaking him for Chinese. Low left the club in mid-2016 and returned to Singapore.
In 2018, he turned down an offer from Coton Sport FC de Garoua due to concerns over accommodation and security, as the club was based near areas affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
Later in 2018, Low signed with Dutch club NEC Nijmegen in the Eerste Divisie, the countryâÂÂs second tier, where he featured as a non-contract player.
In 2023, Low resumed his professional career with Techiman Heroes SC in GhanaâÂÂs Division One League.
After retiring from professional football, Low joined Jurong United futsal team, competing in the amateur Kyna Futsal League. At the same time, he took up a role as assistant coach with Woodlands Lions FC in the Singapore Island Wide League. He also founded and currently operates the DL Scouting Agency.
Low returned to Singapore in 2016 and worked briefly as a security systems administrator in a bank. He has a twin brother who previously signed for a State League football club in Western Australia.
