Impressive job
Lowe guided the Pilgrims to promotion from League Two in his first season at the club and then to an 18th place finish in League One last term.
His side have started the current campaign very strongly and are currently sat in 4th place, just two points off the top of the table.
However, they have lost their last three league games on the spin and he now appears to be heading out the exit door to Preston.
