Howe arrived at The City Ground from Irish side Athlone Town, having previously enjoyed stints at Sligo Rovers, Glentoran and Linfield in Ireland.

The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Northern Ireland, making appearances at under-17 to under-19 level before making her senior international debut in 2020 at the age of 17.

The forward’s debut season was heavily impacted by injury as her side secured promotion to the WSL2.
