Steven Howarth (born 3 June 1992) is a Scottish former professional footballer who last played as a striker for Scottish Second Division side Albion Rovers.
Howarth started his career at Clyde, but had to wait until the 2009–10 season before making his breakthrough to the first team. He made a total of 11 appearances for the Bully Wee, scoring just one goal. He was mostly credited for his hard-working ability, and his good performances that season earned him, and team-mate Connor Stevenson, a trial at champions Rangers in October 2009.[1] It was to be a poor season overall for Howarth, as Clyde were relegated to the Third Division, finishing bottom.
Howarth joined SPL club Motherwell in the closing hours of the transfer window on 31 August 2010.[2] [3] He is who plays for the under-19 side and reserve side at the Steelmen.
Howarth signed a new one-year professional contract at Motherwell, having been top scorer for the under-19 side in the 2010–11 season with 15 goals.[4]
On 1 February 2012, Howarth and his club agreed to an early termination of his contract, four months before it was due to end.[5]
On 30 August 2011, Howarth joined Alloa Athletic on a one-month loan.[6]
After spending months out of the game, Howarth was given a trial at Albion Rovers, and was awarded a contract after impressing manager Todd Lumsden.[7]
