Recruited from Burwood United, Howard had an injury-plagued VFL career, which started in 1981 after he made his way up from the Under 19s.[1][2] He made seven appearances late in the season, then played only the opening two rounds in 1982 and just once in 1983, a premiership year.[2] In both the 1984 and 1985 seasons, Howard didn't play a single senior game.[2] He finally had an extended run in the team in 1986, with 13 games, but didn't take part in Hawthorn's finals campaign, which ended in a fourth successive grand final appearance and second premiership in four years.[2] In 1987 he played 14 games for Collingwood, but didn't play at all in 1988 and was cut from their list at the end of the year.[2][3] He suffered two broken legs during his career.[4]
He was captain of the Sandringham Football Club in 1989 and 1990, winning their best and fairest in the first of those years.[5]
