AFL Career
editHawthorn (2015–2022)

A mobile defender, Howe made his AFL debut in the ninth round of the 2015 season.[2] On a wet day in Launceston he started as the sub before replacing Cyril Rioli at three quarter time.
In November 2015, Howe extended his contract to play for Hawthorn for an additional two years.[2]
In July 2018, Howe received a five-game ban for his conduct in a Round 18 game against Carlton.[3] He was given a two-game ban for striking Patrick Cripps and a three-game ban for a tripping incident that left Zac Fisher with a broken leg.[4]
On 30 October 2018, Howe signed a two-year deal with Hawthorn.[5]
After 96 games, Howe was told he would not be offered another contract for 2023 season. Hawthorn delisted him.

He played his hundredth professional game at the gather round tournament in South Australia against the Brisbane Lions.
