Russell Howarth Biography

Russell Howarth is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 27, 1982 in York, England, United Kingdom. Russell Michael Howarth, born 27 March 1982, is an English former professional footballer who was a goalkeeper. He was a member of the Football League for York City and Tranmere Rovers.

Howarth began his career in York City’s youth system. He joined the club in 1996 as a schoolboy. He signed a three year academy scholarship at York in 1998 and was a first-year student. He played in the Candia66 International Under-20s Tournament in May 1999 for York. This tournament was hosted in Europe. York defeated Trenkvin Slowakigie to win the tournament. Howarth saved two penalty kicks during the 4-2 penalty shootout victory. He was 17 years old when he made his debut with Third Division York. The opening match of 1999-2000 season saw him defeat Trenkvin Slowakigie 1-0 at home. He was York’s first-choice goalkeeper, ahead of Bobby Mimms. He kept clean sheets in three of his first matches. Two days after his fifth consecutive appearance, Howarth signed a professional three-year contract with York. After allowing 11 goals in three matches and having played in six of York’s first six matches this season, Neil Thompson decided to drop Howarth for the more experienced Mimms. York’s management team said Howarth’s exclusion was for his safety and not on merit. After Mimms’ injury, Howarth made his next appearance in York’s 2-0 loss away to Plymouth Argyle. For the next match, a 0-0 draw against Exeter City on 26 Feb 2000, Howarth was preferred over Mimms. After the signing of Alan Fettis, a Northern Ireland international, Howarth was again limited to the substitutes bench. He made eight appearances in his first season of senior football.

Howarth was called up for a friendly at home to Belgium on 16 November 2000, which he started as England won 3–2, despite Evans having seemingly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for the under-18s. He was included in the squad for another friendly against the Netherlands on 1 March 2001, although Evans was chosen to play ahead of Howarth. He was called into the squads to play Poland in the intermediate qualifying round, although he failed to play a part in either leg of the tie, as Evans started in both the 1–0 home loss on 22 March 2001 and the 0–0 away draw on 26 April. With Evans omitted from the squad to play away against Switzerland in a friendly on 30 May 2001, Howarth started in a 1–0 defeat. The match, in which he was substituted for Boaz Myhill of Aston Villa, proved to be his final appearance for the under-18s.

Howarth’s next international call-up came over a year later when being selected for the under-18s for a match against Luxembourg on 27 April 2000, this time being one of two players with clubs below the top two divisions. He debuted after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Evans, in a 2–0 victory for England. Howarth was then called up for a friendly with Israel on 1 September, although he did not feature as Evans was chosen to start. In September 2000, he was named in the team that would participate in a 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying mini-tournament hosted in Ancona, Italy. He failed to appear in the first match against Andorra on 7 October 2000, but made his first start in the next match, a 5–0 victory over the Faroe Islands on 9 October. Howarth was excluded from the line-up for the final match against Italy, which England won to progress to the intermediate qualifying round.

Howarth was called up to the England under-16 team, which played Turkey on 12/01/1999. He was the only member of a club below the top 2 divisions to be selected. England won 2-0 when he made his debut as a substitute for Rhys Evans in the 70th minute. Two months later, his second cap and first start was in a 1-0 win at home to Turkey. Brian Marwood, Sky Sports’ commentator, described his performance following the match as “outstanding”.

Larger clubs became interested in buying him during the summer of 2002 and he decided to consider his options before deciding on his future. He trialled with Everton in May 2002, and played in a friendly against Falkirk in the Alex Scott Memorial Trophy, keeping a clean sheet. He revealed he was interested in a move to Everton, and due to Fettis’ good form for York, he decided to pursue a move. After his contract expired on 30 June 2002, Howarth joined Wolves for a second trial in July for a two-week period. After playing in Wolves’ opening pre-season friendly against Morecambe, he was invited to join them for their pre-season tour of Portugal. Despite being out of contract at York, the club was entitled a fee as he was under 24 years of age, but a bid of £60,000 from Wolves was rejected. He was recalled by York to take part in a pre-season friendly against Sunderland, although he refused to participate. Howarth told Dolan he did not want to play for the club, as any potential injury could have ended his proposed transfer. His proposed move to Wolves continued until August 2002, and late that month he trained with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. He played in a practice match for Tottenham, but after they failed to follow up their interest in him Wolves made a bid to sign him on loan, which York rejected. After Marlon Beresford left York, and Howarth’s proposed moves elsewhere fell through, he re-signed for the club in September 2002 on a week- to-week contract. Despite this, he spent two days on trial with Premier League club Newcastle United in late September 2002. Howarth’s first appearance of 2002–03 came in a 4–3 away defeat to Lincoln City on 22 October 2002 in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round, after Fettis was rested due to injury.
