After a trial with Northampton Town Howe was given a short-term contract with the club in July 2007,[9] but manager Stuart Gray released him before the start of the season, feeling that he had little chance of breaking into a strengthened side.[10] A few weeks afterwards, Howe signed for Conference North side Kettering Town but found first team opportunities limited and signed for his local club Welling United a few months later. Howe finished the 2007–08 season with Welling but left when manager Andy Ford told him he could not guarantee him first-team football for the coming season.[11] Howe played reserve games for Crystal Palace towards the end of the 2007–08 season as part of a trial which proved unsuccessful. In August 2008 Howe joined Fisher Athletic, where he was appointed captain. He played a reserve game on trial for Gillingham in December 2008,[12] then signed for Croydon Athletic in February 2009[13] before rejoining Ebbsfleet United in October 2010 after the problems faced by Croydon Athletic. Howe has become an integral part of Liam Daish's Conference National team and has attracted the attention of a host of League One and League Two clubs.Howe picked up four club player of the year trophies (including Manager's) at the end of the season awards.
