[Albion] Harry Howell

[fly high]

Can't see a thread for this young man, which I think he deserves. He is playing so well for the U18s & 21s & such an exciting prospect, you wonder how long before he is blooded in the first team. Maybe before the end of the season he'll get a few minutes at the end of the odd match. Could he even become our youngest ever player.

Jake Forster-Caskey was 16 years and 13 days old when he made is debut in May 2010.

Doing well, but I think Freddie Simmonds is going to be better….

 

[Hamilton]

Such an old name. Love it.

Was he a spiv in World War 2?

 

[AZ Gull]

Funnily enough, there IS an existing thread for his dad -

Jamie Howell - Bognor Regis Manager - next Pompey manager?​

 

[Official Old Man]

Being there at the Reading match I had no idea how old this lad was. It wasn't until the kid with number 95 on his back put away the winning penalty we looked up the lad.
Couldn't believe his age and the confidence shown taking that penalty.

 

[Stat Brother]

I've been boooooooooooooooing him since he was 12.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Bring him on against Palace when we are 5-0 up, just to troll Roy.

He’s FIFTEEN years old. Calm yourself.

A decent coach apparently. Hopefully young Harry is grounded like Jack Hinshlewood.

 

[Giraffe]

Knowing his parents, he will stay very grounded. Surrounded by football family people. Bright future for sure.

Sounds good, looking forward to see how he develops.

 

[The Wookiee]

I know someone who knows his dinner lady at his school and she says he’s shitehouse

He’s obviously doing well, but I think we need to maybe take some time to calm down. A lot of people’s first exposure to him was 1 kick in a papa johns trophy game. He’s a good prospect for sure but I don’t think we need to put too much pressure on the lad, and watch his development. I agree with @dazzer6666 though, I think Simmonds is the one to look out for, but IMO will take longer to make an impact because of his position.

He's since scored a brace for the U21s v Liverpool and setup a goal versus Dinamo Zagreb. AND and he has Hinshelwood heritage, so it's almost guaranteed that he's fabulous.

I think he’s getting a lot of hype on the back of those as well. Great to see another player coming through the academy which hasn’t been bought in from another academy, and is homegrown. Another one of the production line.

 

[Gabbiano]

Both he and Simmonds look very promising.

But they're only 15 and have only just broken into the U21s (because many of the regular U21s are in Dubai).

Give the lads some time to develop before launching them into the toughest league in the world.

Our current youngest ever player didn't end up having an illustrious career with us, as a result of his early breakthrough.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Leave him alone.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Well if we are going to be all sensible about this then, I look forward to him getting a preseason first team game in August 2026

 

[Munkfish]

Cousins with Jack Hinshlewood.

His Dad is a brilliant non-league manager.

Really hope we keep hold of him and he makes it with us.
