William Howie (born 9 July 1982) is a Scottish football midfielder currently playing for Pollok in the Scottish Junior Football Association, West Region. He has previously played in the Scottish Premier League with Partick Thistle.

Career

Howie joined Partick Thistle from their youth set-up in 1999 and made his first team debut against Queen of the South at the age of sixteen in May of that year.[1] His career was interrupted in 2001 after a serious assault left him with a fractured skull.[2] Howie returned to the Partick first team in November 2003 by which time the club had been promoted to the Scottish Premier League, and made eleven appearances before the end of the season.

After his release by Partick Thistle in 2005, Howie joined Junior side Glenafton Athletic under the management of his former Thistle boss Gerry Collins.[3] He moved on to local rivals Cumnock Juniors in the summer of 2011 before signing for Pollok in June 2013.[4][5]
