Howie, born in Glasgow, was a defender and joined Hibernian from Newton Juniors in 1943 and remained at Easter Road for the remainder of his career.[1] He was part of the Hibs team that won three League Championships in 1947–48, 1950–51 and 1951–52. He scored in his only Scotland cap, a 3–1 win over Wales in October 1948.

He was forced to retire from football in 1954 for medical reasons, having contracted tuberculosis.[2] He became a journalist, but died in a car accident in 1958.[2]
