He was loaned to Glasgow Warriors in March 2002 when their fly-half Barry Irving was injured, as cover for their Cook Islands international fly-half Tommy Hayes. This move became permanent for the 2002-03 season. [5]

He stayed at Glasgow Warriors until 2006-07 season when he moved to Italian side Viadana and stayed there until 2009. [6]

Now back in Auckland, New Zealand, Howarth is a real estate consultant. [7]
