He joined Conference National team Gateshead on a month's loan on 13 November, ^[6] making his debut the next day as a substitute in a 5–3 defeat at Stevenage Borough. ^[7] He finished the loan with six appearances. ^[5] He signed a new contract to keep him at Blackburn until June 2011 and he subsequently joined League Two team Rochdale on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season on 21 January 2010. ^[8] He made his debut in a 4–1 victory at Cheltenham Town. ^[9] He finished the loan with seven appearances as Rochdale won promotion to League One. ^[5] He went on trial with Conference team York City in June with a view to signing on loan for the 2010–11 season. ^[10] However, he signed for League Two team Bury on a two-year contract on a free transfer on 6 July. ^[11]

On 12 January 2012 he joined Bradford City on a one-month loan deal lasting until 14 February 2012. ^[12] He made his debut two days later in a 2–2 draw against Morecambe at Valley Parade. ^[13] He started the following game playing the full 90 minutes in what was a 1–1 draw at home to Burton Albion. ^[14] The loan deal expired after a 1–1 draw with Port Vale however it was extended by a further two months until 14 April. ^[15] His made his first appearance after extending his loan deal as he came off the bench in the 86th minute to replace Craig Fagan during a 1–0 loss away to Dagenham & Redbridge. ^[16] On 16 April 2012, Haworth loan spell at Bradford City had ended ^[17] In May 2012, Haworth was released by Bury after being deemed surplus to requirements. ^[18]

Shortly after leaving Bury, he soon move to Scotland by signing for Falkirk in the first division on a free transfer, with a two-year deal. ^[19] Despite a good start in friendlies having scored twice, he failed to score later on in his Falkirk career, having been described as 'make the difference-type player' by manager Steven Pressley. On 30 November 2012, Haworth left Falkirk by mutual consent having failed to settle in Scotland. ^[20] Upon a move to Notts County, Haworth stated his move to Falkirk was a "big mistake". ^[21]
