Anthony Nikille Richard Howell (born 27 May 1986) was best known as an English professional football player for Mansfield Town FC. His playing position is primarily as a central midfielder, although he can play as a striker or winger. Howell has acted as an emergency goalkeeper for Alfreton.

Career

After various spells at non-league clubs (including a short spell at Mansfield), Howell signed for Alfreton, where he spent two and a half years, helping the team to promotion to the Conference Premier in 2011.

He rejected a new contract at Alfreton to sign for Mansfield in June 2011.[2] Howell helped Mansfield to the 2012–13 Conference title, thus promotion to the Football League. He was rewarded for this with a new contract.[3]

Howell played a big part in the third round of the FA cup match against Liverpool F.C, at the One Call Stadium on Sunday 6 January 2013. Howell's big moments in the game were his well saved shot by Brad Jones and his crunching tackle on Liverpool's goal scorer Luis Suarez.

Howell re-signed for Alfreton Town on a one-year contract on 29 July 2014.[4]

On 28 October 2014 in an FA Cup replay against Lincoln City, Howell played in goal. This was due to injuries and Alfreton being unable to register a player who was not registered for the original game. Alfreton lost the match 5–1.[5]
