Lowrie, who won an NRL premiership with Melbourne in 2012, has been appointed as a new development coach and follows a similar path to other former Storm players such as Stephen Kearney, David Kidwell, Jason Ryles, Ryan Hinchcliffe and Matt Duffie.
Scone-bred Lowrie now departs Newcastle Rugby League club Western Suburbs, where he coached the first-grade squad from 2020 to 2022.
"Todd made a tremendous impression during his three seasons as a player both in his leadership qualities as well as being a very smart player," the Storm's football manager Frank Ponissi said via a club statement on Thursday.
"More importantly, Todd's character very much fitted the Melbourne Storm values and we believe that he has the potential to be a very good coach at our club."
Lowrie, who played 203 NRL games at five different clubs, had coaching roles with the Knights between 2016 and 2018.
