Steven Howarth

Steven "Steve" Howarth (born 3 June 1992 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish professional footballer playing 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 12 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 on October 2009. It was to be a poor season overall for Howarth, as Clyde were relegated to the Third Division, finishing bottom.

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 8 goals.

On 1 February 2012, Howarth and his club agreed to an early termination of his contract, four months before it was due to end.

Alloa Athletic loan

On 30 August 2011, Howarth joined Alloa Athletic on a one-month loan.

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.
