Career
Howard is mentioned in reports from 1745 to 1752. The first was his appearance for R Newland's XI v Long Robin's XI at the Artillery Ground on Wednesday, 26 June 1745, his team losing by over 70 runs.
Five years passed before he is mentioned again in the Kent v Surrey match at Dartford Brent on Friday, 6 July 1750. Howard then played for Kent in the two matches against All-England in May 1751. The final mention of him is on Tuesday, 30 June 1752, when he and John Mansfield were given men for Bromley v London at Bromley Common.
As Howard had established his reputation by 1745, he must have been active for some years previously. His career spanned the 1740s and 1750s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
