Bio
Recruited from Abbotsford, Ron Howell was a small rover or forward who played a brief role for North Melbourne during the turbulent years of the Second World War. Standing at 174cm, he broke into the senior lineup in 1941 and provided depth to the squad, managing nine games and two goals across two seasons. His career at the top level was restricted to the war era, with his final appearance coming in 1942, typical of many young men whose sporting pursuits were interrupted by the global conflict. Howell lived a long life after his football days, passing away in 2015 at the age of 95 as one of the club's oldest surviving past players.
