Johnny Howard (born 2 October 1980) is a retired English rugby union player, most often playing as scrum-half.

Career

Howard first played rugby aged seven at Aylesbury Rugby Club. In 1998, he joined Northampton Saints Rugby Academy, and in the next ten years appeared for the club as a scrum-half and occasionally on the wing. In 2008, he moved to France and played for Aviron Bayonnais.[1] In 2009, he moved again to Pays d'Aix RC and, in 2010, to AS Béziers Hérault, for whom he played until his retirement from professional rugby in 2013.[2] He was in the squad that won promotion to Pro D2 in 2010.[1]

Post-rugby

After retiring from professional sport, Howard opened a restaurant (La Charnière) in Béziers with another player, Charly Malié.[3] The restaurant displays items and memorabilia associated with rugby union, including Andrew Mehrtens' boots. He plays amateur rugby union for Valras.[1]
