About Russell Howarth

  • Russell Michael Howarth (born 27 March 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
  • He played in the Football League for York City, Tranmere Rovers and Bradford City. Howarth started his career in the youth system of hometown club York City in 1996 while a schoolboy, before becoming a trainee in 1998.
  • He made his first-team debut aged 17, playing in the first six matches of the 1999–2000 season.
  • During this run in the team, he signed a professional contract with the club.
  • However, he was unable to play regularly for York because of the form of Bobby Mimms and Alan Fettis.
  • After having trials with Premier League and First Division clubs, Howarth left York in November 2002 to sign for Tranmere Rovers for a five-figure fee.
  • Here, he again played sporadically, only having runs in the team when first-choice goalkeeper John Achterberg was unavailable.
  • After being released by Tranmere in 2005, Howarth signed for Bradford City.
  • However, he was unable to dislodge Donovan Ricketts in goal and was released in 2007.
  • He retired from football and started working as a paramedic. While at York, Howarth played for England at a number of youth levels.
  • He was capped twice at under-16 level in 1999, while still a trainee at York.
  • He competed with Chelsea's Rhys Evans for a starting place in the under-18 team, playing for them in 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying.
  • After making four under-18 appearances from 2000 to 2001, he progressed to the under-20 team, competing with Evans, Stephen Bywater and Boaz Myhill for a place in the team.
  • He was capped four times for the team from 2001 to 2002 before being given a late call-up to the under-21 squad for the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
  • He was still included in under-21 squads after moving to Tranmere, but failed to be capped at that level.
