Club career

On 23 January 2018, Nashville SC announced the signing of Howell ahead of their inaugural USL campaign.[6] On 13 June 2019, Nashville traded Howell to fellow USL side Phoenix Rising FC.[7] On 25 June, Howell made his first appearance on loan with FC Tucson, the Rising's reserve team in USL League One, in a 1–0 loss to North Texas SC.[8]
