Howarth was selected for Scotland A on the basis of a four-year residency period and played in Scotland's match against Romania[1] in 2002 to confirm his Scottish nationality.[2] His older brother Shane Howarth represented both New Zealand and Wales.

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]
