Michael Anthony Howard

Date of Birth: 2 December 1978
Birthplace: Birkenhead
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 10.4
Squad No. 20
Transfers: Tranmere Rov (From trainee on 9/7/97)
Swansea C (Free on 6/2/98)


Michael started as a schoolboy at Liverpool before joining Tranmere Rovers as a trainee. After turning professional he found it difficult to break into the first team and joined Alan Cork down the Vetch for a trial. He went on to join the Swans and has held down a regular first team place since. He continued to improve as time has passed on.

Over the last couple of years, Mike has established himself as as the regular left back, apart from the occasional experiments with Jonathon Coates as wing back. Good tackler, and a decent work rate, although not at his best going forward. Maybe his game has been hampered by a lack of competition for that position.
