Howarth only made a couple of senior appearances in the Worthington Cup and LDV Vans Trophy for York City in 2000-01 due to the outstanding form of Alan Fettis.

However, he continued to remain an integral part of the England youth set-up regularly featuring in the Under-18 squad and winning three more caps.

Howarth joined Tranmere Rovers for an undisclosed five-figure fee in November 2002 on a two-and-a-half year contract.

Howarth joined Bradford City in July 2005 with a two-year contract.
