Playing career
Brentford
After beginning his career in the youth system at hometown club Watford, Driscoll joined the youth team at Division Three side Brentford in 1987. He made his professional debut on the final day of the 1987-88 season, coming on as a half time substitute for Roger Stanislaus in a 2-1 defeat to York City at Griffin Park.[2][3] He received a yellow card, as manager Steve Perryman forgot to inform the referee of the change.[4] Howard failed to make a first team appearance during the 1988-89 season, but was a part of the youth team which reached the semi-finals of the 1988-89 FA Youth Cup.[1] Howard was released in the summer of 1989, having made just a single first team appearance.[1]
Non-league
After his release from Brentford, Howard went on to enjoy a long career in non-league football, playing for Isthmian League sides St Albans City,[5] Boreham Wood,[6][7] Hayes,[8] Chesham United,[9] Hendon,[9] Leyton, Hitchin Town, Leighton Town and Aylesbury United. He wound down his career at Herts Senior County League side Elliott Star,[10][11] making 25 appearances in his final two seasons.[12][13]
